When smart minds and generous hearts connect, miracles can happen for students in our region. We honored that over 300 students, families, funders, mentors, board and committee members and special guests joined us in seeing those miracles in action at the Mt. Pleasant Area Community Foundation's Scholarship Celebration on June 2, 2025 at the Comfort Inn Conference Center,

This event is a wonderful opportunity to celebrate the Community Foundation as a pivotal point of philanthropy in our community. We honored our scholarship funds, acknowledged this year's scholarship recipients, and fostered relationships between fund founders and recipients.

In line with our mission, this event showcased how we act as the steward of generous donations, fund essential local endeavors like educational opportunities, and connect donors with recipients in our community.

Our dedicated team, including our Board of Trustees, and many others, worked very hard to ensure the event was a success. The evening featured sponsor videos, a scholarship celebration video, and opportunities for attendees to meet and connect. Doozie’s Ice Cream place made the evening extra sweet with a custom ice cream bar for our attendees.

We hope you enjoyed this event as much as we do. We look forward to seeing you again next year as we continue our tradition of honoring and empowering our local students through scholarships!
