28TH ANNUAL HCC FOUNDATION GOLF TOURNAMENT

he ball just missed the hole but Bill Bagshaw (co-chair of the golf committee with Beth Mineo) didn’t care, he knew this day was more about the students at Holyoke TCommunity College than about winning the tournament. In fact, the students always win because all the proceeds go to supporting their education. In 2015 year, the golf tournament raised more than $26,000 for educational equipment, student support services, and need-based programs to assist our students. The HCC Foundation is thankful to all of its sponsors who made this event a success. Accompanying this article are photos of some of the participants of the 28th Annual HCC Foundation Golf Classic, hosted by the Springfield Country Club on September 21, 2015.

The tournament had a wonderful crowd of more than 100 golfers on hand to participate in golf, raffles, and a silent auction. This event would not have been possible without the members of the golf committee and volunteers from the campus community who rolled up their sleeves to help—whether it was asking area businesses and individuals to support and play in the tournament, or helping with registration, selling raffle tickets, or being a hole-in-one spotter. 7 HOLYOKE COMMUNITY COLLEGE FOUNDATION ANNUAL REPORT 2015-2016

PRESIDENT’S DINNER

aying thank you is always important, but saying it in style has become a tradition for the Holyoke Community College Foundation. Once again our jazz students–under the tutelage of SProfessor Bob Ferrier ‘77–set the right mood for the night. The students from the Topics in Business course (taught by Professor and HCC Foundation board member Ellen Majka) wowed the guests with presentations of their plans to launch successful ventures. The main course, so to speak, was the culinary arts students’ preparation and service of everything, from the appetizers to dessert. Members of the President’s Circle, and Frost Society, as well as Foundation board members, were invited to attend this annual event. Alumni and friends who contribute $2,500 in one year are granted admission to the President’s Circle while membership in the Frost Society requires an individual to remember the HCC Foundation in his/her estate plan (a bequest intention or naming the HCC Foundation as a beneficiary of a retirement plan are two examples). This was the last President’s Dinner for Bill Messner, who retired in August 2016. This may also be the final dinner to be held in the Picknelly Dining Room in the Frost Building. With the upcoming construction in the Campus Center, the dining room will become a temporary dining venue for the campus community. The new MGM Resorts Center for Hospitality and Culinary Arts at Holyoke will be opening in fall of 2017. We hope to have the next dinner at this new location.

PRESIDENT’S RETIREMENT

For more than 12 years, Bill was at the helm Tand the member of a very exclusive club, “Presidents of Holyoke Community College.” Since its inception 70 years ago as the Holyoke Graduate School, only George Frost, David Bartley and Bill Messner have held the title of president of Holyoke Community College. Bill presided over a period of great expansion of the college. More than 200 alumni, faculty, staff, board members, friends, and family gathered at the Bartley Center for Athletics and Recreation to say thank you for his leadership and wish him and his wife, Eleanor, all the best in retirement.

SCHOLARSHIP RECEPTION

he Bartley Center for Athletics and Recreation was once again the setting for the awarding of the Holyoke Community College Foundation’s scholarships. TThe number of students applying for scholarships rose 25 percent from last year and set a new record. The amount of funds given to support new, current and transferring HCC students was the highest in the history of the Foundation. Students gathered to be recognized for the excellent academic work they were doing, many under difficult financial circumstances. Despite the fact that Holyoke Community College has one of the lowest tuition and fees rates in the Commonwealth, the cost of textbooks, supplies, technology, uniforms or specialized clothing (for some majors) are expenses that exert a tremendous amount of pressure on our students. The scholarship reception would not be possible without donors. As Winston Churchill once said, “We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give.” Scholarship recipients are able to put the gifts to use by continuing their education and realizing their potential. Please review all the scholarships on page 15 and peruse the moments of joy and recognition that were captured at the reception on May 11, 2016.

his past June, the HCC Foundation’s longtime executive director, Erica Broman, presided over her last TFoundation board meeting. For many in attendance, it was a celebration of her over 17 years of hard work and dedication on behalf of the students of Holyoke Community College. In 2002, the HCC Foundation held nearly $3 million in total assets and liabilities. By 2016, that total was more than $12 million, an increase of almost $10 million dollars. In addition, the number of scholarships increased from 58 to nearly 200. Through Erica’s focus on growth of funds, relationships and giving, the Foundation has become one of the largest in the country. Erica presided over three fundraising campaigns during her tenure, with the Building Healthy Communities campaign being the largest in the college’s 70 year history, reaching $5.5 million in contributions. Most notably was a $1 million challenge gift from alumna and retired faculty member, Elaine Marieb’80. Mission: Marieb was an exciting way to engage alumni and friends in philanthropy. The Mission Impossible–themed challenge was so successful that the campaign was able to wrap up six months early and nearly $200,000 in excess of it goal.
