Customer submits rebate claims at: CBrebates.com Page A12 Montgomery County Chronicle Thursday, May 9, 2019 Generosity now a community celebration for CCC Foundation BY ANDY TAYLOR [email protected] COFFEYVILLE — Coffeyville Community College’s educational outreach continues to be bolstered by a long-standing “giving at- titude” from local residents, the director of the CCC Foundation said today. Dickie Rolls, CCC Foundation director, said the foundation’s annual auction on Saturday evening was a indicator of Coffeyville’s connection to its local community college. The annual auction, which has been in existence for more than 30 years, raises money for scholarships. And, the drive among hundreds of local residents to open their wallets for educational scholarships continues to grow, Rolls said. “It’s such an impressive experience to see Nellis Hall Gym filled with tables and chairs that could seat 600 people,” said Rolls follow Saturday’s scholarship auction. “This auction is one of the biggest events in Coffeyville each year . . . and its purpose is to help students achieve an education at CCC.” Rolls gave credit to foundation employees Jana Kastler and Sally Presson for doing the bulk of the heavy lifting in the auction’s organization and planning. However, it’s the businesses and individuals who contribute items for the auction that make the event a continual success, said Rolls. “Coffeyville businesses and individuals are not afraid to show their support for CCC, and it shows in the quality of items that we receive for the auction,” he said. Rolls, who has served as CCC Foundation director since 2005, said he recalls the early years of the auction by a formal event — complete with black ties and $100 per plate admission. Typically, the early version of the scholarship auction would draw about 100 local donors. However, the foundation found that by lowering the admission charge to $25 per person and by eliminating the tuxedos, a less- Dick Foster (center), who guided the Coffeyville Community College football program to national prominence in the 1970s and formal and more-relaxed auction would appeal to more people. 1980s, spoke at the CCC Foundation Scholarship Auction on Saturday evening.
