The Brunswick Community College Foundation will establish a scholarship fund with the donations that will go toward assisting Brunswick County students, young adults, single parents, veterans, and aged workers seeking to advance their education and employment opportunities. Last year, the Brunswick Community College Foundation gave over $209,000 in scholarships to deserving students. The charities will split the proceeds 50/50.
“The goal is to have at least a 40 percent customer participation rate. With this, we could garner an estimated $2,000 a month in donated funds, giving us $24,000 a year for these two deserving charities,” Walker said. He hopes that other utilities in the community will follow suit to raise more money for the many deserving charities and nonprofits that assist the community in many ways.
