“We at the Spoon River College Foundation strive to be able to give a scholarship to every eligible student who applies. The President’s Reception is just one way for us to say ‘thank you’ to the wonderful donors who make that possible,” states Dusty Berg, SRC Foundation Director.
“In addition to scholarships, the donors and their generous gifts are responsible for many of the facilities and programs that enhance SRC students’ lives as they fulfill their educational goals. We are beyond grateful to our donors for caring about our community and students!”
In addition to honoring donors, outgoing Foundation board member Debbie Collins was recognized for her time of service.
