Following an International Women鈥檚 Day event at 40 Knots Winery, the Inspired Women鈥檚 Award has grown to assist a mature female North Island student.
On March 8, the 台湾MM裸聊室 Courtenay Appliances presented the event, which also provided an opportunity to grow the Inspired Women鈥檚 Award - an annual award that is presented to a mature female student residing in the Comox Valley.
The award is presented to a successful student who has completed her first year while also contributing to the greater needs of the community through volunteerism and must also demonstrate financial need.
Through donations at the event, the North Island College Foundation received $2,145 from between 45 to 50 donors, with many first-time gifting to the foundation, explained Erin Peterson, development officer with the college and foundation.
The endowment capital has grown to $22,500 since the award was created in 2016.
