#TogetherHCC πŸ’š


Is it your passion for empowering the next generation of leaders, innovators, and change-makers? Do you believe in fueling the dreams of ambitious students who are ready to transform their communities? Are you inspired by scholars who balance full-time jobs and family responsibilities while pursuing their education with unwavering determination? Would you like to ensure that a student's financial emergency doesn't derail their bold aspirations?

Today, Holyoke Community College is celebrating #TogetherHCC: Drive to Change Lives, our sixth annual #TogetherHCC campaign. We are calling on our alumni and friends to join us by supporting the area of HCC that is the most meaningful to you! Every gift matters and helps to unlock over $125,000 in challenges – that means your gift of $10 or $25 can double or even triple on March 4th.

Each year, we are moved by the extraordinary spirit of our community, as we unite to amplify the potential of our remarkable students and programs at HCC. From aspiring entrepreneurs to future healthcare professionals, our students are driven by big dreams and the determination to achieve them. #TogetherHCC is about your participation in their journey! When added together, our donations create an unstoppable force for opportunity and excellence at Holyoke Community College!
