The Mid Atlantic Center for Emergency Management and Public Safety led by Kathy Francis held a 5K race and public expo at FCC this morning. Funds raised will support scholarships for students in these programs. The event was open to the community and generated a lot of interest when the state trooper helicopter landed on the soccer field!

On Tuesday, April 16, 2024, the FCC Foundation in partnership with the United Way of Frederick County sponsored a second Chromebook Giveaway Event at Frederick Community College.

Last month, Amy Anderson, a FCC Foundation scholarship recipient and second-year nursing student here at FCC, was our student speaker at the Board of Directors' meeting. Amy discussed how the scholarship from the Foundation has positively impacted her journey as a student here at FCC.

“I’m so grateful for Parents Lead just for the support alone,” said Tammy Anderson. “When they tell you they’re there for anything, they mean it. It’s one of the best programs I could’ve found, with or without the scholarship.”

The Unity Campaign runs through March 20. Please consider donating on the FCC Foundation page on the Unity Campaign website at https://ow.ly/ppVq50QN06M or by texting Unity2024 to 71777.

Parents Lead is a cohort-based program that serves the needs of parents who are working, raising a family, and returning to school. It’s not easy but financial support and the support of peers and understanding instructors make a difference.
