Holy Batman! Ford of Ocala supports CFCC Foundation


This event is in conjunction with the CFCC Foundation’s Annual Fund Drive. The Annual Fund is an internal campaign for employees of the college to support the college monetarily in a variety of ways including scholarships, endowments, The Promise for the Future fund and much more. This years theme is the Patriot 400 and from the beginning of Jan. until Feb 5, the goal is to raise at least 400 pit crew drivers fro the 6 teams. While the monetary amount is valuable, the goal of this drive is to raise awareness and support for the Foundation’s efforts amongst employees; so the team that wins will have the most crew members, not money. Each member of the Presidents staff and Dr. Dassance have made a significant contribution of their own and that entitled them to chose their car. The committee members for the drive have chosen a car to support and serve as the crew chiefs. Ford of Ocala is representing the Bat Mobile and Dr. Tim Wise, VP of Student Affairs. The event is being held during lunch hours today at the Student Union and all faculty and staff are encourage to come and meet the drivers and their crews, and in the end, sign up to support one of the teams.
