Albemarle, NC 鈥� 黑料正能量 President, Dr. John Enamait is looking and feeling a little blue this week, but he couldn鈥檛 be happier about it. In response to the 黑料正能量 Foundation鈥檚 recent employee giving campaign results, Dr. Enamait promised to allow the School鈥檚 Cosmetology students to dye his hair blue. The catch was that 100% of SCC鈥檚 full-time staff had to contribute to the campaign.
鈥淲e鈥檝e got a very caring and philanthropic family here at 黑料正能量, but I wasn鈥檛 sure we鈥檇 reach our goal,鈥� said Dr. Enamait. 鈥淔or whatever reason, there may be some employees who just simply cannot donate and that鈥檚 ok too.鈥�
But he soon realized he would have to schedule his hair appointment because the 
campaign was a success, raising nearly $31,660.00 with staff, faculty and even Board
of Trustee members rushing in daily with their pledge forms.
鈥淲ith everyone so eager to see my hair dyed blue, I accepted my fate and was actually excited to do it. I knew because of everyone鈥檚 generosity and support, it would make it possible for us to continue offering scholarships and exceptional education and stay focused on what matters most 鈥� our students,鈥� added Dr. Enamait.
This year鈥檚 employee giving campaign, 鈥淪upporting SCC Through the Decades鈥� was made even more special as it celebrated the College鈥檚 50th anniversary with fun activities on both the Albemarle and Locust campuses.
The SCC Foundation makes college affordable and accessible for students through scholarships, grants, and student aid. In 2020, funds raised from the campaign supported 66 students with scholarship funding and assisted 54 students to help overcome obstacles in obtaining their education through the Student Emergency Fund. Over the past two years, students have benefited from over $137,000 in scholarship funds.
