- How You Can Help
The many friends of DCC have already shown their fiscal support and now we would like to have you have the opportunity to support this much needed project. As an interested individual or business, you can take part in seeing this exciting project completed. The college is asking for contributions and multi-year pledges from individuals and businesses to help build this complex. For example, a one time gift of $25 will get your name on the logo in the gym or a multiple year pledge over an extended period allows individuals and businesses to make a more substantial impact with their giving than with one time gifts. - What to do
Fill out one of the pledge cards, add your check, and return it to Office of the President, Dawson Community College. E mail jcargill@dawson.edu or call 1-800-821-8320 for more information.

Memorial and Reserved Seat Donor
Auditorium Memorial Seating
Dawson Community College needs your financial support to build a Performing Arts Center.
For a $1,500 contribution, you can create a lasting memorial to a friend or loved one by naming a chair in the new 300 seat auditorium in that person’s memory. After your contribution has been made, the individual’s name will be affixed to an auditorium chair for the life of the facility.
You will be invited to the grand opening so that you can be the first to examine your gift. This is truly a gift that keeps on giving, because the chair will be deeply appreciated by all users for years to come. Your friend or loved one will be remembered in a unique and very special way.
Gymnasium Memorial & Reserved Seating
Gymnasium memorial seats may be purchased as a lifetime remembrance of friends and family. A plaque will be placed on the memorial seat and displayed for the lifetime of the facility.
Purchasing a reserved seat allows you to attend all college-sponsored athletic events in the new gymnasium for the next three years. Reserved seats are available in three-year increments. Additionally, you will be given the first rights to purchase these same reserved seats in the future.
DCC extends an invitation to all individuals and businesses to take part.
What to do
Fill out one of the pledge cards, add your check, and return it to
Office of the President, Dawson Community College. E mail jcargill@dawson.edu or
call 1-800-821-8320 for more information.
