By donating to QCCs GivingTuesday campaign, you are helping a friend or a neighbor who may be one of the many front-line workers helping to keep us safe and our essential businesses operating, said Associate Vice President for External Affairs, Dr. Viviana M. Abreu-Hernandez.
Since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, student need has greatly increased as jobs have been lost or severely cut and students are struggling to make ends meet. While the college received CARES Act funding like most in the country, the stipulations for students to receive aid precluded many, due to their part-time status or other disqualifiers.
QCCs GivingTuesday campaign is running for the entire month of November, with a goal of raising $30,000. The College is challenging all its alumni to help meet the $30,000 fundraising goal by asking each graduate to donate at least one dollar.
"Can you imagine if all of our 30,000-plus alumni made a donation? We could make such a positive impact on our students and send them a resounding message of hope, support and encouragement," Dr. Abreu-Hernandez said.
