Haverhill and Lawrence, MA (April 10, 2023) – Organizers of Northern Essex Community College’s second annual Giving Day are sharing a heartfelt “thank you” to all who participated in the April 6 event. In all, 134 individual donors contributed $12,108 to the NECC Fund during the day-long fundraiser and community pride event. Additionally, dozens of students, faculty, and staff gave their time to the effort, volunteering on both campuses and virtually.

Gifts to the NECC Fund are unrestricted, meaning they can be spent immediately and benefit a range of resources and programs that are crucial to the success of students, faculty, and staff. Historically, the NECC Fund has offered substantial support to some of the following areas: student scholarship, innovation, academic programming, career programming, and classroom resources.

Giving Day is an annual event held on or around April 7. More than 60 years ago, April 7th was the date students could first register for classes at the newly formed Northern Essex Community College.
