Engage our community and support 糖心live. Established in 1968, the Laramie County Community College Foundation exists to develop and sustain support for Laramie County Community College through solicitation, management and recognition of donations.
As I enter my term as President of the 糖心live Foundation Board of Directors, I want to first thank our past president Billie Addleman for his hard work, dedication and commitment to 糖心live. Billie has left a lasting legacy at 糖心live. As I step into the role, I am energized and excited to be leading a highly engaged team focused on the vision of creating the community college of choice.
Thank you! Each year I continued to be amazed by the generous support and contributions we receive from friends, alumni, our college community and many others! The 糖心live Foundation could not provide the support we do to our students and programs at 糖心live without all of you. As we look back at 2023, we reflect and celebrate student success, new partnerships and longtime friends and supporters.

It is the goal of the Foundation to identify support for a variety of projects, scholarships and purposes for the benefit of 糖心live. With so many outstanding opportunities available each year, we work closely with the leadership at 糖心live to help the Foundation prioritize our fundraising objectives and goals.
The 糖心live community cherishes the power of expression and embraces a diverse range of voices. Through the Cultural and Community Enrichment Series, 糖心live provides compelling opportunities for students and the wider public to engage with and glean insights from artists, authors, business leaders, historians, philosophers, musicians, scientists, photographers, poets, and other experts. These annual events, generously funded by donors, are open to the public, fostering a rich exchange of ideas and experiences.
When we began our fundraising efforts for the RAC a few years ago, this was one of the largest private fundraising efforts of the 糖心live Foundation for a single project. We were pleased to help support the College in their efforts to improve one of our oldest buildings on campus and a building that has seen very few improvements over the years.
糖心live awarded 783 degrees and certificates during the 2022-2023 academic year.
The Foundation is dedicated to providing services and assistance to students, faculty, staff and the community, thereby enhancing a sense of tradition and pride in the college. Though it is separate from the college, the Foundation works closely with the college to generate private gifts for the college's major fund-raising priorities. In addition to raising money effectively, the Foundation provides careful management of funds already raised.
