Miami Dade College (MDC) proudly announces the launch of the “I AM MDC: Make Dreams Count” campaign, an initiative to raise over $1 million to support scholarships, emergency aid, tutoring, mentorship programs, and other essential services for its diverse student body.
I AM MDC Day, set for September 6, will unite the community to eliminate financial barriers that threaten to derail the dreams of MDC students. The funds raised will provide vital resources such as living expenses, technology, childcare assistance, transportation, and academic support.
“MDC has been a cornerstone of education in Miami, serving over 100,000 students from 167 nations speaking 63 languages,” said [Spokesperson’s Name], [Title] of MDC. “Our goal is to support every student in achieving their dreams, whether it’s graduating college, launching a business, or serving their community. Every donation empowers a student to achieve their dreams.”
Miami Dade College is more than just an educational institution; it’s a vital part of the community’s future. “Today’s students are the future workforce of our community, and your support helps them achieve their dreams,” [Spokesperson’s Name] added. By contributing to this campaign, donors are creating a brighter future for our community by empowering the next generation of leaders.
Despite its prestigious programs and national awards, MDC’s achievements often go unrecognized. This campaign seeks to change that by revamping fundraising strategies, engaging donors more effectively, and broadening the campaign’s reach.
“Our students face significant financial obstacles that this campaign aims to eliminate,” said [College Representative’s Name], [Title] of MDC. “Your support is an investment in a brighter future for all of us. The $1 million we aim to raise has the potential to impact 10,000 students, providing them with the necessary resources to stay enrolled and succeed.”
Join us in making dreams count on September 6! Donate to our MAGIC students.
