Roxbury Community College Foundation virtual event to honor Sarah-Ann Shaw, Carmen Fields, and Rev. Liz Walker. The event will take place this Thursday, December 3 at 6pm.
The Roxbury Community College Foundation (RCCF) is hosting its annual fundraising event on Thursday, December 3rd at 6pm to raise funds for RCC students in a virtual event that will celebrate the achievements of the pioneering Black women in broadcast media Sarah-Ann Shaw, Carmen Fields, and Rev. Liz Walker.
The event, “Legends of Roxbury: A Celebration of Black Women in Broadcast Media” will be broadcast through RCC’s Facebook Live and YouTube channels.
There will be opportunities to donate throughout the program, as the mission of The Roxbury Community College Foundation is to give young people access to a free education, or as close to one as possible. The Foundation serves as the support team and advocates for the College.
Money raised from the event will support students through scholarships, student services and program improvements.
Over 80% of RCC’s students identify as people of color, 80% need financial assistance, and many are immigrants, single parents, and/or first-generation college students. RCC is dedicated to serving over 3,000 students each year who seek to improve their lives through education.
