Central Arizona College Foundation’s annual fundraiser, A Night of Stars, raised thousands of dollars for student scholarships and programs that provide a high-quality and affordable education for local students.
CAC’s scholarship programs include The Pinal Promise, an educational initiative launched in 2001 with the goal of giving every Pinal County student the opportunity for a college or university education.
The annual Maricopa appreciation event last month celebrated the support and partnerships within the CAC community. It featured comedian Don McMillan, a 50/50 raffle, silent auction, wine pull, mystery bags and dinner.
