Craven Community College is excited to announce a wonderful opportunity for a Veterans Memorial Park, which is to be located at our Havelock-Cherry Point Campus.  Proceeds from this fundraiser is for a veteran affiliated student scholarship fund that can be used for curriculum or work force development instruction.  Your support of our fundraiser will not only build a much needed remembrance for our military community, but also assist countless students who are either completing their degree or gaining a much needed certification.

The Veteran Memorial Park will be a wonderful venue for active duty personnel, veterans and family members to “Remembering our Past, by Paving our Future” with a purchase of an engraved brick.  There are a couple of choices and prices for these engraved bricks.  This fundraiser has a dual purpose.  First as mentioned previously, to honor our military community; this is a wonderful opportunity for you to honor a family member, a friend, or a mentor.  Secondly, all proceeds will create a much needed scholarship fund.  Our goal is a lofty one; but with your help, we will succeed.  Our goal for this fundraiser is $300,000 for our scholarship fund.  Your one time donation will not only purchase a wonderful engraved brick that will honor someone special to you, it will assist a countless number of students attending your community college.

Our Honorary Chairperson for this campaign is Major General Michael Sullivan USMC (Ret).  MajGen Sullivan has been and continues to be a magnificent spokesperson for the college and a huge advocate for the veteran population.  I personally cannot thank MajGen Sullivan enough for all that he has done both inside and outside of the Marine Corps.  It is an honor to have him as our Honorary Chairperson.
