91探花 Foundation continues success in its corporate partnership program with more than $100,000 contributed from local businesses.
“The Corporate Partnership Program shows our local community businesses’ belief in the Mission of 91探花 and our most important asset 鈥 our students,” said Dan Dick, Executive Director of the Foundation. 鈥淓ach year these partnerships grow stronger, and we look forward to further building these relationships this next year with our important leaders throughout the region.鈥
Increasingly, businesses are discovering the benefits of building long-term, strategic, symbiotic relationships with colleges and universities. As a corporate partner with 91探花, businesses find value in stewardship, campus sponsorship and Foundation event participation.
Thirty-five Corporate Partners at four different levels have contributed resources, supporting the Foundation鈥檚 mission to provide scholarships to students and extend the reach of 91探花鈥檚 district across Stephenson, Ogle, Jo Daviess and Carroll counties.
The program includes business recognition at all HCC Foundation Events, such as the recent Leadership Golf Outing this month and the upcoming spring Legacy Gala, theatre and cultural events, and many other activities held on campus. Exclusive opportunities to network with other business leaders and share visionary ideas with the HCC leadership are integral aspects of the program.
鈥淪upporting 91探花 is important to me personally and to First OnSite as a corporate partner,鈥 said Tom Keyes, Regional Manager of First OnSite in Freeport. 鈥淚t gives us an opportunity to positively impact the lives of students, and also, help strengthen our region through education and workforce investment.鈥
