"All of the proceeds from Strikes, Spares & Scholarships will benefit The Foundation at MCCC's scholarship program, added to the more than $81,000 that have been raised through this event, now in its 16th year," said Dr. Joshua W. Myers, executive director of the Foundation at MCCC. Each year, more than 200 scholarships are awarded ranging from $250 to full tuition for two years of study at MCCC. In addition to nearly $400,000 in traditional scholarships for tuition, fees and books, "The Foundation at MCCC has in recent years begun awarding emergency scholarships in situations where students are in need of equipment such as laptops or wifi access, or assistance with transportation or short-term child care needs, for example, to continue with their studies and achieve their higher education goals," added Myers.
"Events like Strikes, Spares & Scholarships are a win-win for our students, of course, but also for our donors who have the opportunity to come out and enjoy an evening of fun while knowing their dollars are going to such a worthy cause," he added.
