SCCC to Hold Signature "Funding Their Future" Event on 10/15

9/2/2025 2:12:00 PM

Current and past Sussex County Community College (SCCC) Board of Trustees members, students, donors, community members, and business supporters are invited to gather at Perona Farms in Andover for the premier Sussex County Community College Foundation fundraising event: Funding Their Future on Wednesday, October 15th, starting at 5:30 PM.

Since its inception in 2017, this event has recognized influential leaders who have shaped the College’s journey. This year, the Foundation honors Al Dorso, President of Skylands Stadium in Augusta, NJ. 

This new chapter for both institutions reinforces a shared commitment to fostering youth sports, community development, and regional pride. The Skylanders Football and Baseball teams will have Skylands Stadium as their home field. It also coincides with Skylands Stadium’s ambitious transformation into a year-round athletic and entertainment destination, a project that we can all take pride in.

The evening features a cocktail reception showcasing a variety of local restaurants and students from the SCCC Culinary Institute, who will present their signature menu items.

Guests will also have the opportunity to connect with student ambassadors and scholarship recipients, who will share their personal experiences at SCCC and highlight the impact of community support. Live entertainment, a silent auction, and the formal recognition of the Board of Trustees Chairs, including your invaluable contributions, complete the evening’s celebration.

Each year, Funding Their Future raises vital funds for student success, academic support, faculty and staff initiatives, innovation, and campus building projects, ensuring that every student benefits from the generosity of the College’s supporters. Your participation in this event directly contributes to the growth and success of our students and campus, making you an integral part of our community.
