A Legacy of Excellence
Dr. Tony Zeiss
CPCC President, 1992–2016
It has been my privilege to participate in the development of 24 Central
Piedmont Community College Annual Reports. I know these annual
reports have been appreciated in the community because I have
received a great deal of feedback from you over the years.
Like previous annual reports, this one provides a look at the college’s
achievements over the past academic year and how CPCC has
endeavored to serve its students, local employers and Mecklenburg
County at large.
Our 2015–16 academic year proved to be a milestone year, as the
college launched several new academic and job-training programs,
including a new truck driving program for which we have a waiting list
of about 100 prospective students. In each case, these new programs
were designed to meet a growing workforce need in Mecklenburg
County.
During the year, CPCC secured two large-scale federal grants, offered
for the first time an innovative compressed two-year degree program
aimed at working adults, partnered with Mecklenburg County on an
apprenticeship program for military veterans, celebrated the 10th
anniversary of the Halton Theater, and shared in the pride as WTVI PBS
Charlotte received an Emmy® Award.
The college also completed the first new construction project funded by
the 2013 Mecklenburg County bonds. The Cato III building on the Cato
Campus opened, providing much-needed classroom space at our fastest-growing
campus.
Finally, after more than two decades as president of Central Piedmont
Community College, I announced my plans to retire. Beth and I have
been extraordinarily blessed by this wonderful community and the
dedicated boards, faculty, staff, students and donors of CPCC. It truly
has been an honor and a privilege to lead this wonderful institution.
Even though my involvement at the college will change, this is home for
us. We will continue to live in Charlotte and support many of its fine
organizations, including CPCC.
As always, we thank our many friends and partners for their continued
support and for making the important work of this college possible.
Sincerely,
P. Anthony Zeiss, Ed.D.

MESSAGE FROM THE CHAIRMAN OF THE BOARD
Annual reports usually look back on a 12-month period to provide context to the achievements and
progress made by the institution during that time. This 2015–16 Annual Report does just that, showing
how CPCC continued to serve its students and community through a wide array of programs.
This annual report also provides a one-time opportunity to say thanks to our long-time president and
leader, Dr. Tony Zeiss. After 24 years of service to the college and the community, Dr. Zeiss announced
his plans to retire. While it’s hard to quantify the full impact of Dr. Zeiss’ leadership, here are some
numbers that help tell the story.
During Dr. Zeiss’ tenure, the college grew from one to six campuses, plus two centers and a public
television station, adding more than 2-million square feet in facilities. The college’s operating budget
grew from $46.7 million to approximately $200 million. Mecklenburg voters affirmed and reaffirmed
CPCC’s importance to the county by approving more than $700 million in bond funding. Foundations
and individual benefactors also recognized the good work of the college and Dr. Zeiss’ innovative
leadership by contributing more than $125 million in private support to CPCC.
More difficult to count is the number of families whose situations improved because mom, dad, a son or
a daughter earned a degree at CPCC or the number of employers whose operations were enhanced
because they hired well-trained CPCC graduates or the college provided on-site training. It’s harder still
to estimate how many individuals found hope and a path to a brighter future at CPCC because Dr. Zeiss
made student success and completion a top priority.
For all of this, my fellow Trustees and I say thank you. We offer our utmost appreciation and gratitude for all Dr. Zeiss has achieved during his
presidency and how well he has served the community.
We’re also grateful for how well Dr. Zeiss has paved the way for our next president, Dr. Kandi Deitemeyer. The board of trustees is excited
that we have attracted and recruited such a high-energy and insightful person as Dr. Deitemeyer to take over the reins at CPCC. We know Dr.
Deitemeyer will build upon the college’s legacy of dynamic leadership and its vital role of being an economic engine and workforce provider
for Mecklenburg County.
I’m continually humbled by the abiding support CPCC receives from throughout Mecklenburg County. The support of the Mecklenburg County
Commission, the County Manager and her staff, the Charlotte Chamber of Commerce, the Charlotte Regional Partnership, our business and
industry partners, multiple foundations and our many wonderful individual donors enable the college to fulfill its important mission of education
and workforce development.
Thank you for taking a moment to read this annual report. Thank you also for your continued support of CPCC.

IN HONOR OF 10-YEAR ANNIVERSARY
To mark the Dale F. Halton Theater’s 10th anniversary, CPCC Theatre,
CPCC Dance Theatre and Opera Theatre presented “The Phantom of the
Opera,” Nov. 13–15 and Nov. 19–22, 2015.
Over the past decade, some 360,000 ticket buyers have attended more

offered approximately 100 children’s shows.
The 1,020-seat venue, built in the style of a 19th-century opera house, is
home to CPCC theatre, music and dance productions and has featured
presentations and performances from notable award-winning artists and
speakers such as President George W. Bush, Cokie Roberts, the Vienna
Boys Choir, Michael Jordan and others.
Located in the Christa and Reece A. Overcash Performing Arts Center, Halton
Theater opened on Nov. 10, 2005, with a gala and sneak preview of its first

COLLEGE DEDICATES ZEISS BUILDING
IN HONOR OF PRESIDENT
CPCC officially dedicated the Dr. Tony Zeiss Building on May 18, in honor
of President Zeiss who announced his plans to retire at the end of 2016.
The event’s speakers included Edwin Dalrymple Jr., chairman of the CPCC
Board of Trustees; Patricia Rodgers, president of the CPCC Foundation
Board of Directors; and Dr. Zeiss.
In December 1992, Zeiss became the third president of CPCC, one of the
largest colleges in the Carolinas. During his historic tenure, the college
grew from one campus to six and is highly regarded as a national leader
in workforce development. Under Zeiss’ leadership, the college’s annual
operating budget has grown from $46.7 million to approximately $200
million.
The 106,517 square-foot Zeiss Building, the newest classroom building on
CPCC’s Central Campus, opened to students in January 2014. The building
includes 40 smart classrooms, a 250-seat math emporium, an auditorium
and EMT certification program facilities.

WTVI PBS CHARLOTTE
WINS A MIDSOUTH
REGIONAL EMMY®
AWARD
The Nashville/Midsouth Chapter of The
National Academy of Television Arts and
Sciences (NATAS) awarded WTVI PBS
Charlotte a Midsouth Regional Emmy® Award
during its 30th annual awards ceremony on
Feb. 27 at the Country Music Hall of Fame &
Museum in Nashville, Tenn.
PBS Charlotte was nominated in the Business/
Consumer Report category for its “Carolina
Impact” program story, “Catawba Casino:
The Big Bet,” produced by PBS Charlotte
reporter Jeff Sonier and videographer/editor
Doug Stacker.
The award-winning story reported the
Catawba Indian Nation’s plans to bring
casino gambling to Kings Mountain, N.C.,
and the opposition it is facing from churches,
neighbors and a rival Indian tribe.
“I’m so proud of our production team here at
PBS Charlotte and thank them for all their hard
work,” said Amy Burkett, general manager of
PBS Charlotte. “But this recognition wouldn’t
be possible without the support of our
community and Central Piedmont Community
College.”
COMPRESSED,
TWO-YEAR DEGREE
PROGRAM OFFERED
In 2015, CPCC introduced a compressed, two-year
associate degree program at the Levine
Campus, giving students the opportunity to
complete a two-year degree in just 12 months.
CPCC decided to add the program after data
from other schools indicated community college
students tend to be more successful (A–C grades)
when they take courses in a compressed, four-week
format, as compared to traditional eight-week
or 16-week courses.
CPCC created its new pilot program, comprised
of 16 high-demand transfer courses offered in
four-week sessions. This two-semester format
gives students the opportunity to earn as many
as 51 credits of the 60 college credits needed to
complete a two-year degree at CPCC.
CPCC STARTS
TRUCK DRIVING
PROGRAM
To help meet a rapidly growing demand
for professional drivers in the Charlotte
region, CPCC opened a truck driver
certificate program in January 2016.
JPMorgan Chase provided much needed
assistance by investing $180,000 in the
new program. The program is based at the
Merancas Campus.
Workforce studies indicate a critical
shortage of truck drivers in the Charlotte
region, with more than 2,600 driver
openings. The American Trucking
Association points to a nationwide truck
driver shortage of 48,000. Starting salaries
for truckers are around $34,000. The
average annual salary in the Charlotte
region is $55,000.

CPCC LAUNCHES NEW DEGREE PROGRAMS
When CPCC opened its 2015 fall semester, students had four additional associate degree programs to consider. The college introduced each of the new
programs in response to growing local demands for specifically trained skilled workers.
ASSOCIATE IN
ENGINEERING
The Associate in Engineering (A.E.)
program is a transfer program,
designed for students who want
to pursue a four-year bachelor’s
degree in civil or mechanical
engineering at one of the UNC
system universities. Workforce
studies and employer surveys
indicate the Charlotte region
needs more bachelor-degree-level
engineers.
BIOMEDICAL
EQUIPMENT
TECHNOLOGY
This program prepares students to
install, operate, troubleshoot and
repair sophisticated equipment
and instrumentation used in
healthcare facilities. Students
learn about instrument calibration,
design and installation testing;
system safety and maintenance
procedures; procurement and
installation procedures; and
report preparation. Novant Health
supported the program launch with
a $150,000 gift to CPCC.
BROADCASTING
AND PRODUCTION
TECHNOLOGY
This program prepares students
for a wide range of media/
communications jobs in the
Charlotte region. Students take a
number of their classes at WTVI
PBS Charlotte, which serves as
a learning lab. The program’s
curriculum includes courses in
film and video production and
editing, newswriting, broadcast
sales, social media marketing and
entrepreneurship.
GLOBAL LOGISTICS
AND DISTRIBUTION
MANAGEMENT
CPCC launched a new associate
degree program in global logistics
and distribution management,
supported by a $235,000
investment from JPMorgan Chase
to promote career opportunities
in the fast-growing field. The new
program is aimed at meeting local
demand, where 80,000 current
logistics-related jobs are expected
to grow significantly in number
through the end of the decade.
Logistics generally involves
moving products from raw
materials at the point of origin
through the supply chain to the
end consumer and eventually to
recycling and end-of-life disposal.
Logistics also can involve the
moving of information, finances
and services.
2015–2016 Annual Report
COLLEGE PARTNERS WITH COUNTY ON
VETERANS APPRENTICESHIP PROGRAM
Seeking military veterans with an interest in safety and construction,
Mecklenburg County and CPCC launched the “Building With Our Veterans”
apprenticeship program in early 2016 to meet a local need for more building
code inspectors.
The apprenticeship program is a collaboration between the county’s Veterans
Services Division of Community Support Services, the Code Enforcement
Division of Land Use and Environmental Services Agency (LUESA) and CPCC.
Once accepted into the program, participants undergo one year of coursework
at CPCC, with additional field training from a County Code Enforcement
mentor. After the completion of 999 training hours, graduates earn their CPCC
code inspection certificate.

HAROLD A. BOUTON JR.
PRODUCTION CONTROL ROOM
DEDICATION
Dozens gathered at WTVI PBS Charlotte on Thursday, June 16, to
dedicate the station’s production control room in memory of Harold A.
Bouton Jr. He served as the station’s president and general manager for
20 years.
“Hal would have been thrilled,” said his wife, Dr. Deborah Bouton. “He
spent his life working for PBS and telling the story of public television and
the value that it brings to people, young to old.”
Hal passed away earlier this year. All of us at PBS Charlotte are grateful
for the legacy he left behind.
CPCC RECEIVES NATIONAL
SCIENCE FOUNDATION GRANT TO
COMBAT COUNTERFEITING
CPCC is using a $200,000 grant from the National Science
Foundation (NSF) to develop a new certificate program focused on
anti-counterfeit printing and packaging technology.
The NSF Advanced Technological Education grant supports a number
of project activities, including course development and adaptation
leading to a new technician certificate program, as well as a
continuing education course for incumbent workers, faculty professional
development, and cultivation of business and industry partnerships. The
college will conduct the grant project over three years.
According to the International Chamber of Commerce, counterfeiting
is one of the fastest-growing economic crimes of modern times; it
accounts for between 5–7 percent of world trade. Counterfeiting
activity is worth an estimated $600 billion a year.
CPCC SECURES $1.3-MILLION
FEDERAL GRANT TO BOOST
DISADVANTAGED STUDENTS
CPCC is working with a five-year, $1.32-million grant from the U.S.
Department of Education to help more disadvantaged, low-income and
first-generation college students, as well as students with disabilities,
successfully complete a program of study.
The federal grant is aimed at enhancing CPCC’s student support services
to increase the retention and graduation rates of disadvantaged students
and help facilitate their successful transfer to a career or a four-year
institution.
Through the grant, CPCC is working closely with students required to
take developmental math and/or English courses. These students receive
proactive advising, intensified academic advising, career exploration,
financial aid education and other resources to deal with life challenges
that could prevent them from completing their courses of study. Tutors
working with these students emphasize success in reading, math and
science – courses that are critical to their retention and completion.

PERKINS LEADERSHIP PARTNERS CPCC WITH OTHER N.C. COMMUNITY
COLLEGES FOR COMPETENCY-BASED EDUCATION
The North Carolina Competency-Based Education Project is a collaborative statewide effort to design and build a sustainable and scalable competency-based
associate degree pathway in Information Technology by fall 2017. Competency-based education (CBE), a nationally-recognized, best-practice model for
teaching and learning, provides students a flexible way to get credit for what they know; build on their knowledge and skills at their own pace; earn high-quality,
industry-validated degrees and credentials; get a new job or advance along a career pathway; and earn a fair wage to support themselves and their
family. The $625,000 grant, provided by the U.S. Department of Education through the Perkins Act, supports curriculum improvement activities, the adoption
of new technologies and the development of comprehensive student support. Forsyth Technical Community College, Stanly Community College, Wake
Technical Community College and the NC Community College System are equal partners on the project.

professional career as an instructor at CPCC is a high honor for
me,” said Johnson. “I wish all CPCC faculty and staff success as
they continue to serve the greater Charlotte community.”
CPCC DENTAL ASSISTING
PROGRAM CELEBRATES 50 YEARS
With just five students, CPCC graduated its first class of dental
assistants in 1965. Today, after celebrating its 50th anniversary in

CPCC’s Baking & Pastry Arts division provided the food for the
celebration, which included a special anniversary cake in the shape
of a tooth. Guest speakers included Dr. Monique McEachern of
Mountain Island Pediatric Dentistry, an employer of graduates from
CPCC’s Dental Assisting and Dental Hygiene programs. Special

Welcome to our newest board members
Dear Friends:
On behalf of the Central Piedmont Community College Foundation, I
am writing to extend sincere thanks for your generous support. In the
2015–16 fiscal year, the Foundation was the beneficiary of gifts and
pledges totaling $3,475,926. Please know your generosity furthers the
college’s mission of providing affordable, accessible, quality educational
and career-training opportunities to thousands of citizens in our region.
In the just-completed fiscal year, the generosity of donors enabled the
Foundation to provide scholarships to more than 1,100 deserving
students. Without donors such as you, this would not have been possible.
As we express thanks to all those who have supported the Foundation,
it is most appropriate to recognize two individuals for their incredible
record of service in generating resources for CPCC—Dr. Tony Zeiss and
Tommy Norman. In their respective roles as president of the college and
president of the Foundation, they constituted an effective team which
provided leadership and energy for a series of successful fundraising
campaigns and contributed to the dramatic growth in Foundation assets.
Countless numbers of students and the broader community are the
beneficiaries of their good efforts. We are grateful for all they have done.
Again, to each of you, many thanks for your support in 2015–16. We
look forward to your continued partnership and support of Central
Piedmont Community College and its students.
Sincerely,
Patricia A. Rodgers
President, Board of Directors,

JPMORGAN CHASE INVESTS IN
WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT
In 2015–16, JPMorgan Chase donated $180,000 to help launch
the Truck Driver certificate program located on CPCC’s Merancas
Campus in Huntersville. Workforce studies indicate a critical
shortage of truck drivers in the Charlotte region, with more than
2,600 driver openings. Following the launch of the 16-week
program in January 2016, 140 individuals have applied for
classes.
JPMorgan Chase also donated $110,000 in support of global
initiatives at CPCC and 14 other community colleges in the region.
This grant supports research, educational summits and conferences
and the operations of the Charlotte Regional Collaborative for
a Global Economy, which focuses on identifying and promoting
regional assets essential to the region’s expansion as a global
commercial hub.
“Our region can realize its full global competitiveness when we
work jointly to accelerate access to talent and resources that
will help attract more companies and trade opportunities to the
region,” said Craig May, market leader for JPMorgan Chase in the
Carolinas and head of the firm’s commercial bank in the region.
“The investments made by JPMorgan Chase are important to this
region’s efforts to become a global hub of commerce, including
the development of a skilled workforce employers need,” said
Dr. Tony Zeiss.
OKUMA AMERICA GIFT ENHANCES
STUDENTS’ SKILLS AND
OPPORTUNITIES FOR SUCCESS
Okuma America Corporation donated two high-tech advanced
manufacturing machines to CPCC. The computer numerical control
equipment, valued at $214,000, helps CPCC Computer Integrated
Machining students and other Engineering Technology students gain
sought-after skills and an advantage with local employers.
“Okuma recognizes the lack of skilled labor is one of the biggest
threats to the manufacturing industry. Our ability to assist CPCC in
educating and training the next generation of operators, machinists and
programmers is a key to the success of our local customers and our local
economy,” said Jim King, president and COO for Okuma America.

A. Ray Mathis’ donation of 10.75 acres of land in Charlotte’s southwest
corridor translates to an expansion opportunity for CPCC’s Harper
Campus. The campus, home to a variety of curriculum programs, such as
Advertising & Graphic Design; Air Conditioning, Heating & Refrigeration;
Construction Management; Non-Destructive Examination; and Welding,
is projected to have more than 1,400 students enrolled for fall 2016,
an increase of 12 percent over 2015 enrollment figures. The land will
be developed to offer additional parking for the growing campus.
CPCC looks forward to recognizing Mr. Mathis’ donation with a future
dedication ceremony.

PNC FOUNDATION GRANT HELPS
PRESCHOOL STUDENTS GROW UP
GREAT WITH MATH
Renewed support from PNC Foundation is preparing teachers enrolled in
CPCC’s Early Childhood Education program to help preschool students
“Grow Up Great with Math.” Preschool teachers shape a child’s zest for
learning. With PNC Foundation’s support, CPCC is empowering early
childhood educators with knowledge and resources that make math
education fun and help to build preschoolers’ confidence for mathematical
association, computation and the comprehension tools they will need to
succeed in school and life. CPCC students receive training at CPCC and
role-modeling/shadowing onsite in their preschool classrooms.
LOCAL ROTARY CLUBS
SERVE THROUGH STUDENT
SCHOLARSHIPS
Charlotte Rotary and Charlotte North Rotary Clubs are active servant
leaders at Central Piedmont Community College. Each club provides
annual scholarships to CPCC students on the basis of community service
and academic merit. Since 2014, more than $25,000 has been
awarded to 18 Rotary scholars at CPCC.
In addition to scholarships, local Charlotte Rotary clubs sponsor Rotaract “Rotary in
Action” Clubs at CPCC. Rotaract teaches students about being active in their local
and global communities and helps develop leadership and professional skills.
WILLIAM M. CLAYTOR
SCHOLARSHIP HONORS
LONGTIME COMMUNITY AND
COLLEGE LEADER
The Central Piedmont Community College Foundation established
a scholarship in honor of Charlotte attorney William M. Claytor,
past chairman of the college’s Board of Trustees, CPCC Foundation
director, Planned Giving Committee chairman and college instructor.
The William M. Claytor Scholarship will be an annual, full-tuition
grant for one student.
“This scholarship is a fitting tribute to Bill Claytor in recognition of
his nearly 40 years of selfless service to the college as a foundation
director and trustee,” said Patricia Rodgers, president of the CPCC
Foundation Board of Directors.
10TH ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATION
OF “CHARLOTTE, A CITY OF
INTERNATIONAL SUCCESS”
On September 24, 2015, the college celebrated the 10th
anniversary of “Charlotte, A City of International Success,” a WTVI
PBS Charlotte show hosted by Dr. Maha Gingrich, international
community liaison for the CPCC Foundation.
This unique show features people from around the world who
have contributed to the success of the Charlotte region. More than
80 community leaders, CEOs, honorary consuls and dignitaries,
including Luis Guillermo Solis, president of Costa Rica, have shared
their life stories and secrets to success through this television program.

WITH GIFTS TO CPCC
ANNUAL FUND
With support and leadership from the
CPCC Foundation Board, CPCC launched a
coordinated Annual Fund Campaign focusing
on volunteer leadership and alumni; 230
donors responded to the effort, raising more
than $95,000. Donors who contributed
$1,000 or more were recognized as
President’s Society members.
Annual Fund gifts help CPCC respond to the
most pressing financial concerns and provide
the ability to seize unique and important
opportunities that benefit students and the
community. Featured in campaign materials
was Kelley Creed, a 2015 graduate of
CPCC, who, through the generosity of donors,
received scholarship assistance to pursue her
education at CPCC.
ASC GRANT HELPS
BRING DANCES OF
INDIA TO COMMUNITY
With generous support from the Arts and
Science Council (ASC), CPCC presented the
14th annual Dances of India on April 23. The
production celebrates the culture of India and
showcases 3,000-year-old classical dances and
traditional folk dances featuring unique props,
silk costumes and masks. ASC funds enabled
CPCC to include international artists in the
show’s signature dance, “Unity in Diversity,” and
provided tickets to Community Charter School,
Girl Scouts and underserved youth.
CPCC CELEBRATES COUPLE’S
DEDICATION TO EDUCATION AND
TEACHING EXCELLENCE
In June 2016, CPCC dedicated the Wilton L. and Mary W. Parr
Auditorium in recognition of the couple’s generous support of CPCC
students and faculty.
Mr. Parr began taking classes at CPCC in 1968 and continued
through 2006. During his time at CPCC, he not only served as a math
tutor in CPCC’s Adult Literacy program, but also attended as a student.
He took most of his classes after his retirement from Piedmont Natural
Gas, where he served as senior vice president of marketing.
Mr. Parr and his wife established the Wilton and Mary Parr
Scholarship Program in 1998. In 2005, they established the Wilton
and Mary Parr Fellows Program to recognize teaching excellence, and
in 2010, they became members of CPCC’s Legacy Society with the
establishment of their first Gift Annuity.
SINGLE STOP AND
CPCC PARTNER TO
HELP STUDENTS
FOCUS ON GOALS
CPCC and Single Stop, a non-profit
organization, partnered in January 2016
to create a one-stop service center that
connects students with the resources they
need to stay focused on their academic
and career goals. Funds and software
contributed by Single Stop allow CPCC
to assist qualifying students and their
families with free tax preparation; benefits
counseling; financial counseling; legal
advice and representation; and referrals
for other college and community resources.
More than 700 students were served by
Single Stop in the spring semester.

A Legacy of Excellence
DONORS’ LEGACIES
PROVIDE FOR
STUDENT SUCCESS
CPCC Legacy Society member Vaughn
Luckadoo passed away in 2015. Vaughn,
who served as chairman of CPCC’s
Human Services Department, retired
in 1997 after 25 years of dedicated
leadership.
Upon joining the CPCC Legacy Society
in 2008, he named the college the
beneficiary of his Individual Retirement
Account (IRA) and established a revocable
trust for CPCC to receive the residue of
his estate. Per his wishes, the Luckadoo
and Johnson Scholarship for Human Services was created in his memory and in
memory of his life-partner, Charles Stephen Johnson, who predeceased him.
Vaughn touched faculty, students and countless friends with his loving and caring spirit.
He chose to continue his kindness by naming the college in his estate plan and helping
CPCC students achieve their educational and career goals.
CPCC lost a great friend with the passing of Robert L. Gossett in 2015. Bob, a
physical therapist, was a member of the faculty for 23 years. He developed and
led the first Physical Therapist Assistant Program in North Carolina, which served
as a pilot program for other colleges and teaching facilities. After retiring, Bob
served the college as a founding member of the CPCC Retirees Association.
Bob lost his wife, Eleanor, also a CPCC
instructor, in 1995, and he established
a scholarship in her memory. When Bob
retired, faculty and staff contributed to
this fund, and the Robert L. and Eleanor
Gossett Scholarship Endowment was
created to provide financial assistance to
students enrolled in the Physical Therapist
Assistant program at CPCC.
Bob also named the college as the
beneficiary of a life insurance policy
and requested that memorials be made
to CPCC upon his death. Together, these
gifts will continue Bob’s legacy of helping
CPCC students.
CPCC’s Digital Media, Journalism and
Communication students interviewed Legacy Society
member Dr. Russell Rogers.
Legacy Society member Harriet Barnhardt enjoys speaking
with CPCC Student Ambassador Devanté House.
Danielle Lazaro, recent CPCC graduate and featured
guest speaker, credits CPCC with changing her life:
“I would never be here without the help of others
because I could not afford to attend college. I want
these donors to know there are success stories.”

SPORTING CLAYS CLASSIC
The CPCC Foundation hosted its 13th annual
Sporting Clays Classic in April 2016 with
more than 250 people participating. Three
tournaments – the B.D. Rodgers Cup, Clay
Pigeon Challenge Cup and the First Responders
Cup – made up the day’s activities. Proceeds
from the event benefit programs and scholarships
for first responders and military veterans enrolled
at the college.
CPCC CHARLOTTE SKYLINE RUN
Runners, baby joggers and walkers participated
in the 21st annual CPCC Charlotte Skyline
Run. The theme for the event was “Do Good,
Feel Good.” Participants and guests took home
saplings from TreesCharlotte, registered to be
bone marrow donors through Project Life and
ran alongside homeless runners affiliated with
RunningWorks. They also enjoyed the products
and services of vendors in CPCC’s Food, Health
and Kids Zones.
SWIRL
New and longtime friends of CPCC turned out
in style for Swirl, an evening of fine wines,
passionate minds and tasteful finds. French
and Italian wines were paired with delicious
foods prepared by Culinary and Baking &
Pastry Arts faculty and students. In addition, the
event featured a live auction with exciting wine
packages and getaways. Funds from the annual
event support CPCC’s culinary programs.

MEMORIAL AND
HONOR GIFTS
Memorial and honor gifts are
a special way to thoughtfully
remember family and friends.
Some CPCC donors make a
provision for gifts to be made to
the college at their passing, or their
families make the request. Other
donors make gifts of appreciation
in honor of someone who has
been a vital part of their lives, for
a birthday, anniversary, holiday or
other notable occasion.
