This Year’s Event Will Be Fundraising For
The funds raised at this year’s LOTP will support SMCC’s Advocacy Resource Center (ARC). The ARC currently works to identify available resources and connect students with them but does not have an independent operating budget to provide funds directly to students. With the funds raised, the ARC can provide some of the most critically vulnerable student populations with funding towards items that are essential for them to attend college, complete their education, and support the workforce. Financial support may be provided for items such as child care, transportation assistance, and housing.
