Northeast State’s annual Because of You campaign concluded this week, raising more than $50,000 for student scholarships and needs.
The Northeast State Foundation orchestrated the campaign, which ran for one week with campus groups and organizations conducting fundraisers that included a mum sale, a fine art sale, a craft sale, a cookbook sale, various food sales, and a benefit concert by Jeff Little and Wayne Henderson. Events were staged at Northeast State’s Blountville, Elizabethton, Johnson City, and Kingsport campuses.
The top fund-raising group was Students Needs with a grand total of $15,895.03. Through six Because of You campaigns, Students Needs has raised $100,000.
The majority of the funds were raised through faculty, staff, and student participation, and the Foundation matched 20 percent of all funds raised.

“We are going to take care of our students because the heart of Northeast State is its people and our hearts are caring and compassionate,” said David Haga, volunteer leader for the Student Needs fundraiser.
Fund-raising efforts also included these groups and totals: TRIO, $5,957.85; Choral Program, $3,206.40; Honors Program, $3171.60; Veterans Affairs, $1,950.00; Business Technologies, $1,826.40; Human Resources, $1,232.66; and the Art Club, $1,039.20.

Honorable mentions included the Art Department, Counseling Services, and Human Resources. Winners received $100 each to donate to the organization or scholarship of their choice.
