We pause to honor the life and legacy of Jack Best, a valued member of the Foundation Board and a devoted champion of our mission.

Jack brought a deep sense of purpose to his service, offering both strategic insight and generous philanthropic commitment. His belief in education and in the potential of our students helped move our work forward in meaningful ways.

His influence reaches far beyond his years of service, leaving a lasting imprint on our Foundation and the community we serve.

We remember Jack with gratitude and respect, and we extend our heartfelt condolences to his family and loved ones. His legacy will continue to inspire us.

We enjoyed speaking with the Goldsboro Rotary Club this week!! The is civic organization has a long history of supporting our students and providing opportunities to further their education through scholarships.

Thanks to Jacqueline Kannan with The Foundation of Wayne Community College for presenting to us this week.

The Foundation was happy to support the faculty and staff Easter Egg Hunt this past week! It was great to see everyone come together for some fun, laughter, and friendly competition.

Congratulations to our two golden egg winners! Well done! 🎉

We wish everyone a joyful and Happy Easter! 🐣
