Iowa Central Community College Alumni encouraged to join giving circle; “100 Tritons Who Care” dinner set
FORT DODGE — Iowa Central Community College is proud to announce the Spring meeting of its premier giving circle, “100 Tritons Who Care,” taking place on Tuesday, April 28, at Willow Ridge in Fort Dodge.
“This is our second event and promises to be another wonderful evening of connecting with alumni and friends of Iowa Central to support a great cause,” shares Mary Ludwig, Executive Director of Development.
Following a highly successful inaugural meeting that raised nearly $12,000 to support the Iowa Central Vet Tech program, the college is looking to expand this founding circle of leaders.
As Iowa Central approaches its 60th anniversary, the mission of “100 Tritons Who Care” remains focused on uniting alumni, friends, and community partners to collectively shape the future of the campus and its more than 6,000 enrolled students.
The concept of the giving circle is designed for maximum impact through simplicity: 100 participants gather to donate $100 each toward a specific project at Iowa Central. These contributions directly elevate the student experience, ranging from modernizing classroom technology to expanding vital campus resources.
Event Details:
• Date: Tuesday, April 28
•Location:Willow Ridge, Fort Dodge
• Schedule: Social hour at 5:00 PM followed by brief presentations and dinner at 6:00 PM by the Iowa Central Culinary students.
• Cost: $20 per person for dinner (payable at the door. RSVP required)
“This is a unique opportunity for our community to network with fellow Tritons while making a tangible, lasting impact on our campus,” says Dr. Jesse Ulrich, President of Iowa Central Community College.
The event is open to the public, and guests are encouraged to bring a friend or spouse to participate in the evening’s festivities. The 100 Tritons Who Care grew from an idea to reality from a volunteer board that worked behind the scenes to launch the program.
Members include Colette Bertran, Judge Brown, Nancy K. Crimmins, Mary Kay Daniel, Leah Glasgo, Mary Ludwig, Larry McLuckie and Jenny Shivers.
“We are grateful for our community supporters who provide leadership for the 100 Tritons Who Care and create momentum that will turn this group into a lasting powerhouse for the betterment of our students at Iowa Central,” says Ludwig.
