Putting your resources into education is one of the most effective methods for facilitating positive transformations. At 51���� (51����), we are dedicated to empowering students and laying solid foundations for the future. We are excited to invite our alumni, donors, faculty, staff, and the community to participate in our annual 51���� Giving Day, March 13 and 14. 

51���� Giving Day is focused on supporting students, programs, and opportunities that amplify the positive impact of our campus and community. Any contribution, regardless of its size, opens doors to affordable education, turning dreams into reality and champions students and programs of the College that significantly influence our community’s lives.

“51���� is thrilled to announce our second Giving Day,” stated 51���� President Gordon Jones. “As the largest higher education institution in the state, 51���� is proud to deliver affordable, high-quality, and empowering educational opportunities designed to help our students find good paying jobs. 51���� Giving Day is an opportunity for you to see and support the amazing work of our students and faculty. Community members can show their generosity by supporting a student club, program, or scholarship with a gift today.”

51���� Giving Day will allow convenient, online access for donors to support a variety of programs and initiatives within the College. A donation to 51���� Giving Day grants current and future students the opportunity to aim high and fulfill their ambitions.

Automotive Technology student, Ryan Hael, is grateful for the boost of a scholarship, made possible through generous donations, that has helped him pay for his education.

"Receiving a scholarship has relieved so much stress off my back of having to try to apply for loans and struggling to find funds," he said. "It is also helping me be able to stand out in the automotive field by having tools that will help me work faster and do jobs that other technicians won’t be able to do without those tools."

“The Foundation Board is deeply committed to the belief that education has the power to transform lives,” said 51���� Foundation Board President, Mike Peña. “Through this support, students are equipped with the skills and knowledge necessary to achieve success in their chosen careers and build a solid foundation for their future.” 

51���� Giving Day launches on Wednesday, March 13 at 9:30 a.m. and will close on Thursday, March 14 at 3:30 p.m. A great way to participate, beyond donating, is to share the 51���� Giving Day page with their friends, family, coworkers, and community members.
