The Abney Foundation has given consistently to Tri-County over the years, helping thousands of students to attain their educational goals. No other foundation, individual, or company has contributed so generously to the Foundation. “That’s what it‘s all about—changing lives,” said Grayson Kelly, executive director of the Foundation, which sponsored Abney Day 2015 on September 1. The event was designed to show appreciation for the College’s largest contributor to date. “We’re fortunate to benefit from those before us and their contributions. Thanks to the Abney Foundation for their continued contributions to change lives for the better,” said Grayson.
