Northern Essex Community College is gearing up for its fifth annual Giving Day.
Giving Day is a 24-hour fundraiser taking place Thursday, April 9, and designed to bring the community together to support the college’s annual fund.
“Giving Day celebrates healthy camaraderie and competition through a variety of themed challenges, prizes and more. The funds raised have an incredible impact on the programs and services that are in greatest need of funding,” the college says.
The NECC Fund directly supports student scholarships, lectures, essential classroom resources and progressive career programming. The money is unrestricted, allowing donations to be spent straightaway to assist in an assortment of resources and programs that are vital to student and faculty success.
In just under 24 hours on its initial day in April of 2022, Giving Day raised more than $34,000 from upwards of 200 contributors. It was the greatest single-day fundraising endeavor in the college’s history.
Donations during Giving Day, April 9, may be made online or by mailing checks to NECC Foundation, Northern Essex Community College, 100 Elliott St., Haverhill.
