A Message From the Campaign Chairs East Central Community College serves a five-county district, and the college is deeply tied to our residents. It is important that we create an environment where students can be educated and trained to go anywhere, but also have the option to stay home in their schools’ communities and churches that they grew up in. At ECCC, we continue to look forward to the future. As ECCC looks forward to its 100-year anniversary in 2028, and under the leadership of President Dr. Brent Gregory, the college has launched Deeply Rooted, Future Focused: A Capital Campaign for East Central Community College . With a working goal of $4,150,000, this campaign specifically seeks funding to renovate Founders Gymnasium as well as multiple academic buildings on campus. Funds raised will meet the need to create an even more sustainable college that serves our students, faculty, staff, and five-county district. As chair and honorary co-chairs of the campaign, we are committed to its success and believe that reaching the campaign’s goal will ultimately translate into building excellence at East Central. The focus of investment opportunities, outlined on the previous page, illustrate the college’s dedication to provide ECCC students with outstanding educational experiences. You are invited to join with us as we invest in the future of ECCC. We ask that you consider a gift payable in equal amounts over a five-year period. Your participation in this campaign is essential to our success and will impact the lives of current East Central students as well as the generations to come.

We appreciate your thoughtful consideration.

Sincerely,

Mr. David Byars Campaign Chair

Mr. John E. Martin Honorary Campaign Co-Chair
