Dear SLCC Colleagues,
As announced during SLCC360 last week, we are excited to debut Salt Lake Community College’s first annual Giving Day, scheduled February 17–18. Giving Day is an event where the SLCC community unites with local charitable organizations, college trustees, regional partners, alumni and others to support college programs that help provide a bright future to our students and their families.
Our first Giving Day will span 1,948 minutes — in honor of the institution’s founding in 1948. From 8 a.m. on February 17 to 4:28 p.m. on February 18, you are invited to be “all in” and donate to help make our bold vision for the future become reality. Funds raised will support scholarships and SLCC programs that enable us to provide an exceptional college experience for our students.
And at various times throughout our Giving Day event, donations will be matched by some of the college’s most ardent supporters and friends, including Mountain America Credit Union, University Federal Credit Union, and SLCC's Board of Trustees, Executive Cabinet and Foundation Board. This is a wonderful way to deepen the impact of your donation, and I encourage everyone to take advantage of this unique opportunity. A link to the Giving Day page can be found here.
If you are unable to donate, you can still show your support by sharing Giving Day information and stories with your friends and followers on social media. We want to involve as many people as possible in this effort, and your help in spreading the news will make Giving Day a roaring success.
In case you missed it at SLCC 360, you can learn more about this unique event by checking out our Giving Day video:
I am honored to represent an institution that is an incredible force for good in our community, and I am privileged to work with each of you in helping our students find success and achieve their dreams. I can think of no better way to kick off a new year than by helping our students. Please join us by saying, “I’m in” for Giving Day.
Thanks for all you do to make SLCC an extraordinary place where countless lives are changed for the better each and every day.
Go Bruins!
