The Northwest State Community College Foundation recently hosted its 13th annual Green Carpet Event, \u201cCome Together,\u201d and raised over $60,000. All proceeds from the event go directly to student scholarships. A highlight of the evening was the presentation of the 2022 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\u2019s recipients were Bard Manufacturing Company, the Van Wert County Foundation, and LaRoy Martinez, Jr. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition to the Making a Difference Awards, the Green Carpet Event included a heartfelt performance by Kerry Patrick Clark. Gourmet food stations, a cash bar and a silent auction rounded out the festivities, as the Auditorium and surrounding areas were decorated in the event\u2019s \u201cCome Together\u201d theme.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\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. We recently celebrated awarding over $1 million in Foundation scholarships, and we\u2019re focused on how we can continue to do more for our learners. We are blessed to work in a community where people come together to help make a difference for others,\u201d Wilcox continued.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A special recap program of the NSCC Green Carpet Event will soon be available on the Northwest State website (https:\/\/northweststate.edu\/green-carpet), and will be available on WNHO TV26, available via Spectrum cable and other select local TV providers, plus over the air via antenna.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
