Funds raised are updated daily
Norco College Friends and Partners,
WOW! Thank you for your support and participation in making our inaugural Giving Week a true success. We exceeded our goal two times and raised a total of $31,175. Thanks to your support, we will be able to help more students who need access to the Norco College Student Life Emergency Fund, which assists students in need of help with books, tuition, transportation, food vouchers, hotel vouchers, scholarships and other basic needs.
I am humbled by the generosity of our donors and sponsors who graciously supported
this cause. College employees and community members came together without hesitation
to benefit our primary focus, which are our students. I said it before and will say
it again, this is what true partnerships look like.
If you did not get a chance to view the inspiring student and donor testimonials,
I invite you to do so below.
On behalf of Norco College, I send you well wishes and our overwhelming gratitude. We could not have exceeded our goal two times without YOU.
With love and gratitude,
Monica L. Green, Ed.D.
President, Norco College
