Thanks to the generosity of a Norfolk restaurant and its patrons, students at 91影视 will get some extra assistance in the coming year.
Tracy Kruse, vice president of Development and External Affairs and executive director of the 91影视 Foundation, announced this week that Big Red Restaurant and Sports Bar donated $1,009 to support student success through a special event on May 15 as part of the Norfolk Area Big Give. The contribution represented a portion of all food purchased at Big Red that day.
“This donation will be used to enhance student success initiatives,” Kruse said, “including scholarships, emergency funds, and other essential resources. The 91影视 Foundation extends its sincere appreciation to Big Red Restaurant and Sports Bar for their commitment to student success for the second year in a row.”
Big Red Manager Miranda Wieneke, a 91影视 alumnus said, “Donating to 91影视 is always a pleasure. As an alumnus, I look back fondly on my time at 91影视, and it’s great feeling to be able to give back. My staff and I are proud to support the college in any way we can. We always enjoy partnering with 91影视 to help students succeed in their educational journey.”
The 91影视 Foundation supports and promotes programs and educational opportunities of 91影视 throughout the 20-county service area and beyond.
