WEST WINDSOR, N.J. -- Four will be honored by Mercer County Community at the 2010 Scholarship Dinner Dance, “Puttin on the Ritz,” set for April 24 at the Hyatt Regency, Princeton. All proceeds go directly to scholarships for deserving students.
Receiving the "Distinguished Benefactor Award” will be William and Judy Scheide of Princeton. The “Distinguished Corporate Partner Award” will go to Dow Jones & Company, and the “Spirit of Education Awards” will go to Mercer County Executive Brian Hughes and J. Lynn Cannon, president of Princeton Management Development Institute.
The gala event will include dinner, dancing and a silent auction with original artwork donated by area artists. Serving as co-chairs of the event committee are Nina Melker of The Bank of Princeton and Pasquale Colavita, a Mercer County Freeholder.
Last year the Mercer County Community College Foundation awarded scholarship dollars to more than 200 high-achieving and financially qualified students, including part-time students and single parents. Additional students benefited from endowed or named scholarships established by donors through the Foundation.
Businesses and community members are invited to participate in the Scholarship Dinner Dance through corporate sponsorships, advertisements in the program book, silent auction donations, and/or tickets to the event.
