Making a Difference: CSN Foundation
Making a Difference
CSN Foundation
The College of Southern Nevada Foundation is always looking for fun, new ways to bring funding to programs at CSN. “Extra-curricular activities provide students with an outlet to meet new people, provide practical application to what they’ve learned in their classes and generally feel engaged with their college or university,” said Jacque Matthews of the CSN Foundation. “Being able to offer potential and current students a wide array of programs and services, a nationally known baseball team, scholarship opportunities and more is a big reason why CSN is the fourth largest two-year college of its kind in the United States.”
To fulfill their mission, the foundation found a winner in 2008 with the inaugural Golf Classic, featuring celebrity MLB players Greg Maddux, Aaron Rowan, James Shields, Mike Dunn and Reed Johnson. After much success and positive feedback, the CSN Foundation decided to plan the 2nd annual event in November of 2009 at the Dragon Ridge Country Club. With a line up that included all the same celebrity players as the first event, plus Steve Garvey of LA Dodger fame, this 2nd annual event was another great success and a celebration of CSN’s already nationally recognized baseball team. Proceeds benefited CSN athletics programs, which must be funded primarily with private donations.
CSN Foundation is a nonprofit organization dedicated to managing and disbursing private funds for the growth and improvement of higher education in our city. For more information, call 651-7301.
