BOWLING GREEN, Ky. (WBKO) - Service One Credit Union (SOCU) made a big donation in honor of Southcentral Kentucky Community and Technical College’s (SKYCTC) Annual Giving Day.

At their annual meeting on April 20th, SOCU presented a $15,000 donation to the Southcentral Kentucky Community and Technical College Foundation (SKYCTC). This donation was in response to SKYCTC’s as a challenge to other donors.

If 75 gifts were contributed, then Service One would donate $15,000.

“At Service One, we believe that when people have access to opportunity, entire communities move forward,” said SOCU President and CEO Justin Morris, in a release. “Supporting education is one of the most meaningful ways we can serve others and help individuals build a stronger future for themselves and their families.”

According to the release, the SKYCTC Foundation is the primary source of fundraising for the college, leading efforts that positively impact student success.

These funds expand programs and opportunities that equip students for success, such as investing in hands-on training equipment, helping cover uniform costs, and professional development.

“This was our most successful Giving Day so far, surpassing the 75 Donor Challenge along the way. 104 donors contributed over $32,000 to benefit our students through scholarships, programs, the Student Emergency Fund, and the Pathfinder Food Pantry,” said Heather Rogers, Executive Director of the SKYCTC Foundation, in a release.

SOCU says they remain dedicated to its ongoing partnership with the SKYCTC Foundation and higher education.
