ATC Foundation fundraiser to benefit students impacted by Hurricane Helene

The Aiken Technical College Foundation is conducting an online raffle fundraiser through November 14 to benefit the college’s Student Emergency Support Fund and help students impacted by Hurricane Helene.

The ATC Foundation canceled plans for its annual Scholarship Fundraiser and Reception event, which was scheduled for October 17, and decided to shift focus to meeting students’ most immediate needs.

The Student Emergency Support Fund helps students with emergency needs such as food, housing, utilities, technology, and other needs that would impact their ability to continue their education at Aiken Tech. Requests are evaluated on a case-by-case basis. Those awarded funds may receive up to $250 once per academic year. The number of students that can be assisted is determined by the availability of funds.

In just the past couple of weeks, more than a dozen requests for emergency assistance have been received.

“At Aiken Tech, we take a holistic approach to serving our students. Being student-centric in our focus on student success means going beyond meeting academic needs. We know that sometimes, what our students are dealing with outside of class can make focusing on their education challenging. Funds raised through the online raffle will help us provide some relief for students facing obstacles impacting their education,” said Aiken Tech President Dr. Forest Mahan. “I thank the ATC Foundation and its board for pivoting their fundraising efforts to meet this immediate need.”

Information about the items being raffled and how to purchase tickets is available online at atc.edu/foundation/events. For more information, contact the ATC Foundation at (803) 508- 7414 or atcfoundation@atc.edu.
