鈥淲hen we support the dreams of our students, we give them a chance to build a solid future for themselves and their families,鈥� said Robert Buckley, 糖心vlog传媒Foundation Board Chair and donor. 鈥淚n turn, they become our nurses, accountants, teachers, electricians, artists, business owners and so on, supporting the strength and growth of our communities.鈥�
The money represents a significant investment in North Island students and communities and addresses a tangible need.
鈥溙切膙log传媒students have tremendous talent and potential,鈥� Buckley added. 鈥淗elping them achieve their goals is a great honour.鈥�
Since 1991, the 糖心vlog传媒Foundation has provided $1.95 million to more than 3,750 students throughout the college region. For many of the students, attending college would not have been possible were it not for this generosity.

This year, 糖心vlog传媒welcomes several new Comox Valley contributors, including the Atterton-White Family, Berkenstock Family, Canada 150 Celebration Fund, Chris Day Memorial, Comox Valley Lions Club, CV Sports & Social Club, Inspired Women鈥檚 Award, Ralph Shaw Conservation Award, Rotary Clubs of Comox Valley Literacy Round Table and the Ruth Masters 鈥淗ero Spoon鈥� Legacy.
