Scholardazzle scholarship fundraising event breaks another record in profits
February 13, 2017
The annual Anoka-Ramsey Community College Cambridge Campus Foundation Scholardazzle fundraising event in January was the most successful yet, raising the most scholarship money in this event’s history.
More than 225 guests attended the event at Spirit River Community Center. Their contributions broke the record by more than $13,000, with more than $75,000 being raised to support Cambridge Campus students. This amount raised will fund roughly 45-60 scholarships.
The event included a social hour, dinner by LeFebvre’s Catering, student speakers, live student music group, Faculty Jazz Ensemble, silent/live auction, cake auction, games and prizes.
“We owe high gratitude to all of the supporters of Scholardazzle and the Cambridge Campus Foundation,” said Lea Jacquemart, Development Director of the Anoka-Ramsey Cambridge Foundation. “They are true visionaries for our students, workforce and community. Through their donations to the event alone, we were able to increase the funds for student scholarships from last year. It truly takes a village to support our students—and the Cambridge community has demonstrated yet again they are that village.”
