Northwest State Raises Nearly $64,000 for Student Scholarships At Its 2023 Green Carpet Event

The Northwest State Community College Foundation recently hosted its 14th annual Green Carpet Event, “Motown,” and raised nearly $64,000. All proceeds from the event go directly to student scholarships. A highlight of the evening was the presentation of the 2023 Making a Difference Awards, which were created by the NSCC Foundation as a way to recognize and celebrate individuals, businesses and organizations in the six-county area committed to improving their communities. This year’s recipients were Kamco Industries, Care and Share, and Theodore “Ted” Ripke.

In addition to the Making a Difference Awards, the Green Carpet Event included an energetic performance by Motor City Sensations, playing some of Motown’s greatest hits. Gourmet food stations, a cash bar and a silent auction rounded out the festivities, as the Auditorium and surrounding areas were decorated in the event’s “Motown” theme.

“The Green Carpet Event and the Making a Difference Awards celebrate hard work, community support and giving,” said Robbin Wilcox, NSCC Executive Foundation Director. “We work year-round to raise awareness and needed funds for student scholarships, and this event is a critical piece of those efforts. We recently celebrated awarding nearly $800,000 in Foundation scholarships, and we’re focused on how we can continue to do more for our learners. We are blessed to work in a community that is passionate about philanthropy, and making a difference in students’ lives,” Wilcox continued.
