More than 300 friends and supporters filled the Bremer Student Center on Monday, October 12, for Olympic College Foundation’s 31st Annual Community Luncheon, presented by Kitsap Bank.
Together, we raised more than $110,000 (and counting) to help sustain Olympic College’s six new healthcare programs, ensuring students have the equipment, supplies, and resources they need to prepare for careers caring for our community.
It was an afternoon filled with wonderful stories, generous hearts, and a shared commitment to our students. We heard from the people whose generosity helped launch these programs and from students whose lives are being changed because of that support.
One of the highlights was a video sharing the very personal stories behind our new EMT program. If you weren’t able to join us, we hope you’ll take a few minutes to watch it.
To everyone who attended, made a gift, or helped bring the event to life, thank you. A special thank you to our speakers, the Olympic College Foundation Board of Directors, our wonderful volunteers, and the college staff who supported the event.
If you haven’t had the opportunity to give, there’s still time to help. Your generosity will ensure these programs remain strong for the students and communities who depend on them.
