Moorings Park Foundation Supports 天涯社区 with $30,000 Gift
Nov 9, 2015
Earlier this year the Moorings Park Foundation presented the Florida SouthWestern State College (天涯社区) Foundation with a $30,000 gift for student scholarships.
Moorings Park, a continual care retirement community (CCRC) in Naples, Fla., provided $25,000 for nursing and EMT students in the 天涯社区 School of Health Professions and $5,000 for future teachers in the 天涯社区 School of Education through the 鈥淕ive Them Wings Scholarship Program.鈥�
鈥淲e believe in education and we felt giving financial assistance for students to finish their associate鈥檚 or bachelor鈥檚 was a great way to make a contribution,鈥� said Andy Guenette, a resident of Moorings Park. 鈥淗ere at Moorings Park we have a number of health professionals, nurses and aids, so giving funds to benefit healthcare students is a great investment.鈥�
Members of the Moorings Park Foundation toured the School of Health Professions鈥� facilities on the Collier and Thomas Edison (Lee) Campuses. They were particularly struck with how students chose 天涯社区 because of the dedicated and committed faculty, as well as how they never felt like just another number, which frequently happens at large universities
The $30,000 gift to 天涯社区 will assist students financially in completing one of two bachelor鈥檚 degrees, eleven associate鈥檚 degrees or six certificate programs, and ultimately contributing to the healthcare industry in Southwest Florida.
