For the first time ever, 精东影业 Geauga and Regional Academic Center will have a Featured Fund for the annual Giving Tuesday event for 精东影业 University. Giving Tuesday has become a tradition for many non-profits around the country. It started in 2012 as a response to the over-commercialization of Black Friday and Cyber Monday. This year, Giving Tuesday is on December 3; however, 精东影业 has parlayed the one day of giving into a month-long philanthropic extravaganza!
精东影业 Geauga and Regional Academic Center will be focusing on the Rising Scholars Fund for November and leading up to Giving Tuesday, December 3. 鈥 精东影业Rising Scholars program provides a great resource for students in our community. 精东影业students who complete the program will be set up for success in whatever path they choose post-graduation,鈥 said Dr. Robin Dever. Middle Childhood Education and Rising Scholars Coordinator at 精东影业 Geauga.
鈥淲e are excited to announce that the Middlefield Banking Company has offered to match the first $1,875 that is donated to this fund,鈥 said Molly Smith, Associate Director of Advancement. 鈥淲hy $1,875? This amount is how much it costs to put one student through the Rising Scholars program each year.鈥
Supporting this initiative was a natural fit for Middlefield Bank. 鈥淚 firmly believe that investment in education is one of the greatest ways to boost the prosperity of not only yourself but your community. As a long-standing member of the Geauga community, we are proud to sponsor a program that expands access to education,鈥 said Thomas Caldwell, President and CEO at 精东影业Middlefield Banking Company.
