All proceeds raised from the event will go directly to student scholarships. A highlight of the evening was the presentation of the 2021 \u201cMaking a Difference Awards,\u201d 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\u2019s recipients were Terry Henricks Ford and Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram, Farm Bureau Fulton, Henry, Williams &amp; Defiance Counties, and Dan Yahraus (Bryan Chamber).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe Green Carpet Event and the Making a Difference Awards celebrate hard work, community support and giving,\u201d said Robbin Wilcox, NSCC Director of Development. \u201cWe 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\u2019s 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,\u201d Wilcox continued.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>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.
