NMC BBQ Funds Set For Good Works

March 16, 2015

Nine projects will share $40,300 in funds from the 60th Northwestern Michigan College Barbecue – set for Sunday, May 17.

Every year, college employees submit proposals for barbecue funds, contingent on funds raised that day. A Barbecue Board, comprised of college employees and community volunteers, then makes the final selection. This year's recipients are:
 - NMC traditional pow-wow
 - Muti-parameter water quality sonde (probe)
 - Student Success Center workspace
 - Lean Champion flipped classroom equipment
 - College for Kids scholarships
 - Library laptop rental program
 - ROV student design team tether
 - Scholarship Open sponsorship
 - Side scan sonor for Nautical Archaeology

About 10,000 people attend the annual picnic, raising more than $1.5 million for college programs and equipment over the years.

Tickets are $6 in advance and available here.
