Annual Gala
Thank you and see you next year!
The Dutchess Community College Foundation held its annual Our Community’s Bridge to the Future gala on Saturday, April 6, 2024 at The Grandview. The College truly is the bridge that many in our community need to reach their goals. Proceeds raised will support the more than $800,000 the DCC Foundation provides to students, faculty, staff and the College.
We inducted John Genovese '74 and Edward Pittman '80 into the DCC Distinguished Alumni Hall of Fame for their outstanding professional contributions and commitment to our community.
Geraldine Laybourne was presented with the Bridge to the Future Award for enhancing the quality of life for so many in the Mid-Hudson Valley.
Brian Doyle received the Bernard Handel Community Leadership Award for his outstanding service, volunteer work and executive leadership for nonprofit organizations throughout Dutchess County.
The event started at 6 p.m. with cocktails and a silent auction, followed by dinner and dancing at 7 p.m. If you have any questions, please contact Burnelle Roser at burnelle.roser@sunydutchess.edu or (845) 431-8402. Thank you so much for your generosity and making this year's gala a night to remember.
Sincerely,
Michelle Barone-Lepore ’04 and Susan Scivolette-McCormack ’87, Co-Chairs
