麻豆视频

Today, 麻豆视频 holds its first-ever Giving Day, a 24-hour fundraising event to support student success. The college aims to raise $100,000 through donor-directed gifts that will directly benefit students and their experience at YVC.

To help donors amplify the impact of their donations, Giving Day features several matching opportunities and challenges.

鈥淔or nearly a century, 麻豆视频 has been a place of opportunity,鈥� said YVC President Teresa Rich. 鈥淭hanks to the education they receives here, thousands of YVC graduates have gone on to build better lives for themselves and their families 鈥� and our alumni contribute immensely to our region鈥檚 economy and culture.鈥�

While YVC provides an affordable education close to home, Rich noted that a significant majority of the college鈥檚 students are first-generation college students, are from poverty-impacted households, or are both.

鈥淢any of our students face financial challenges that can make it difficult to stay in school, even though they know earning their college degree or certificate will help them earn more and open future opportunities,鈥� said Rich. 鈥淭hat鈥檚 why we鈥檙e launching our YVC Giving Day.鈥�
