Written by Porter County Community Foundation   

PCCC-Celebrates-15-YearsOver 300 people helped the Porter County Community Foundation celebrate its 15th anniversary with a very special tailgate party scholarship fundraiser on November 12. “This was a great way to have fun with our anniversary and benefit the Porter County Community Foundation Scholarship Fund,” said Barb Young, president of the Porter County Community Foundation.

“We are thrilled that we exceeded our goal to raise $10,000 for each year of our history,” said Young. “We have to thank our generous sponsors and guests for investing in our young people.” Since 1998, the Foundation has awarded more than 205 scholarships including 61 Lilly Endowment Community Scholarships.

On hand to help with the Fab Fifteen festivities were some of the Porter County’s Lilly Endowment Community Scholars. The scholars welcomed guests and refereed the popular cornhole competition. Everyone was treated to a hilarious performance by the Chicago-based comedy troupe The Second City.
