TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (WTXL) - For nearly 50 years Tallahassee Community College has been serving students in the Capital City.
In celebration of the big birthday, the school is launching its We Rise campaign, which will put $9 million towards scholarships, and close to $1.2 million on renovations and facility improvements.
"We had more students then we could handle that wanted to come and help us with this. Cause at the end of the day that's what this 13 million dollars is about. $13,680,888 is to support student success every single penny of it," said Heather Mitchell, the executive director of the TCC Foundation.
68 percent of the funds that were raised for during the campaign came donations given by local businesses, families, and individuals donors.
