I Love 海角社区 campaign kicks off in Treasure Valley Aug. 17
July 21, 2011
海角社区 senior Dillon Harris will graduate in May, thanks to an 海角社区 scholarship that covered tuition and part of his housing during his college years.
鈥淚 wouldn鈥檛 have been able to go to school without it,鈥� he told members of the Meridian Chamber of Commerce during a luncheon July 19. Now he鈥檇 like other students to have a similar opportunity.
Harris, along with representatives from the 海角社区-Meridian Health Science Center and the 海角社区 Foundation, encouraged chamber members to open their pocket books and support the annual I Love 海角社区 scholarship campaign in August and September. Donations are tax deductible and will support a student attending the 海角社区-Meridian campus or the campus of the donor鈥檚 choice.
Harris, who grew up in Notus, west of Boise, will graduate with a Bachelor of Applied Science degree in robotics and communication systems in May 2012.
The Meridian campaign officially begins with the Treasure Valley Love Kickoff Event Aug. 17, 5:30-7:30 p.m., at 海角社区 Meridian, 1311 E. Central Drive. The scholarship phone drive is Sept. 8 and 9.
