Day For Nicolet Fundraiser Is Set For Tomorrow

WXPR

The Nicolet College Foundation kicks off its biggest fundraising event of the year Tuesday when A Day for Nicolet gets underway throughout the Northwoods.

The event is designed to raise money for student scholarships says Nicolet College Foundation Executive Director Heather Schallock. She says the goal is to bring the donor in to see how their money helps students...

".....we contact with the donors and many of them like to meet face-to-face. Maybe that is with a volunteer and a student to learn more about some of the challenges, classes and different activities our students are involved in....."

Schallock says the money raised often makes a critical difference in whether a student completes a degree or diploma.
During the kick-off  teams of volunteers visit businesses, organizations, clubs, and individuals throughout the region to generate donations.

To date the event has raised more than $1 million and resulted in the foundation awarding more than 1,400 scholarships.

Anyone wanting more information or would like to contriubte,  contact Schallock at (715) 365-4518.
