The Northwest State Community College Foundation recently hosted its 11th annual Green Carpet Event, in a partially in-person, partially virtual format. All proceeds raised from the event will go directly to student scholarships. A highlight of the evening was the presentation of the 2021 “Making a Difference Awards,” which were created by the NSCC Foundation as a way to recognize and celebrate individuals, businesses and organizations in the six-county area committed to improving their communities. This year’s recipients were Terry Henricks Ford and Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram, Farm Bureau Fulton, Henry, Williams & Defiance Counties, and Dan Yahraus (Bryan Chamber).
“The Green Carpet Event and the Making a Difference Awards celebrate hard work, community support and giving,” said Robbin Wilcox, NSCC Director of Development. “We work year-round to raise awareness and needed funds for student scholarships, and this event is a critical piece of those efforts. Within a month’s time, we have hosted the Scholarship Awards Night, our spring Commencement, and now the Green Carpet Event. We are blessed to work in a community where people want to help make a difference for others,” Wilcox continued.
A special recap program of the NSCC Green Carpet Event is now available on the Northwest State YouTube channel (YouTube.com/user/NorthwestStateCC), and will also be aired regionally on TV26. For details on how to access TV26, please visit https://www.wnho.tv/how-to-watch/.
