Northeast State’s annual Because of You Campaign (BOYC) enjoyed a tremendously successful year raising funds to support students during the annual fundraiser held from October 21 to November 6.
Northeast State staff announced the campaign raised $121,085 to fund programs for students administered through the college’s Foundation. The total exceeded the campaign’s $100,000 fundraising goal. The results were announced today at a celebratory event held on the Blountville campus.
“On behalf of the Northeast State Foundation, I want to say thank you to the faculty, staff, students, and community that participated in this campaign,” said Megan Davidson, director of Development at Northeast State. “Without this support, many of our scholarships could not be funded.”
