The Rockingham Community College Foundation recently celebrated the people and organizations who support the college. The 12th annual Evening of Recognition was Oct. 1 at the Pennrose Country Club in Reidsville.

Jeanne T. Stanley of Reidsville received the Friend of RCC award. “After only two years of service on the foundation board, Jeanne was asked to chair a division,” said RCC President Robert Keys at the event. “Later, she served as president of the board and led the Reidsville Annual Giving Campaign. Jeanne is a lady who has given much to many, and tonight is our opportunity to say ‘thank you’ for her many forms of generosity.”

Andy Strand of Subway of Rockingham County was given the Corporate Benefactor award.

“We cannot put a dollar value on the impact Subway has had on the college,” Keys said.

“From providing meals for various college functions to incentive coupons for foundation campaigns and events, Subway has been there to help, even in these tough times when so many other businesses are cutting back on their charitable involvements. Thank you for being the kind of good corporate citizen that every community wants.”
