Kettering College celebrated its second annual KC Giving Day on Sept. 13, 2018 with doughnuts and coffee, sandwiches, popcorn, and sweet treats. More importantly, the College celebrated with a spirit of giving among alumni, students, faculty, staff, and friends. Many thanks to the 104 KC Giving Day 2018 donors, whose gifts surpassed $63,000. KC Giving Day and fundraising throughout the year support students through the Kettering College Fund, the Kettering College Student Assistance Fund, and the Kettering College Scholarship Fund, among others.

The 2018 KC Giving Day theme was “The Ripple Effect.” Just as a pebble dropped into a pond creates ripples, KC Giving Day has a far-reaching impact on tomorrow’s health care professionals. 2

“Receiving a scholarship not only encouraged me to finish strong in my senior year, but also strengthened my faith,” said Jasmyne Martin, a 2018 nursing graduate. “I’m a firm believer that God allows everything to happen for a reason, and I believe that God opened all the doors for me to attend and graduate from Kettering College. I can’t thank donors enough for selflessly providing the funds for me to finish my education right when I needed it.” KC Giving Day 2019 is on Oct. 17. To learn more, visit www.kc.edu/givingday
