SCOTTSBLUFF, Neb. - Western Nebraska Community College received a $15,000 donation from the Nebraska Public Power District.
The funds were raised from the 34th annual Wells Fargo Nebraska Open golf tournament in September. WNCC's share of $15,000 will be distributed evenly across the Alliance, Scottsbluff and Sidney campuses.
NPPD has raised more than $2 million for the Nebraska Community College Foundation since the tournament's inception in 1992, all donated to Nebraska community colleges. The tournament has now raised more than $416,635 for WNCC alone. The three-day tournament includes an 18-hole, Pro-Am scramble tournament and a 54-hole professional tournament.
"On behalf of WNCC, I would like to thank NPPD for its continued support of the community college system and WNCC in particular," WNCC President Greg Dart said.
"The annual gifts have had a positive impact on the success of our students and businesses in our service area as our graduates enter the workforce."
