FACE it! Time is running out!


The Campus Activities Board (https://web.monroecc.edu/CAB/) has collected over 1,600 self-drawn faces for MCC FACES A CAUSE: The Battle against Kidney Disease!

The goal is to collect 3,000 faces by the end of August so the MCC Tribune Mosaic can be created!  Throughout the summer, all of the students (and their guests) who attend Summer Orientation have had (and are actively taking advantage of) the opportunity to become an instant part of the MCC family by making a face for the Mosaic...but we still need your help too!

If you haven't already done so, be sure to stop by the MAKE A FACE Station (right in between the Campus Center Office, 3-126 and the Campus Center Service Desk) to make your face!  All of the supplies are there waiting there for you!!!  Students, faculty, staff, alumni, friends, and families are invited to make their faces.  No special artistic skills are required.  Everyone is welcome.  Draw alone or as a group.  It's simple and easy to do.  Encourage others to draw too.  It doesn't matter how well you draw, participation is everything!  There is no fee to make your face! 

In September, 16 x 20" Faces of Monroe Community College Tribune Mosaics will be available for sale (for $25.00) as a fundraiser to battle kidney disease and help one of MCC's own families!

Kathy Navarro, MCC student extraordinaire, is giving life to her nephew by donating one of her kidneys.  Kathy’s sister, Diane Dawson, who works in MCC's Instructional Technologies Department, has a preteen son, David, who has dealt with kidney disease all of his life.  With the support of his family, friends, and medical care, he has been able to be active in sports and dreams of being a professional athlete.  Kathy is donating one of her kidneys to help David live his dreams, and she has to take off 6-8 weeks from work to give this incredible gift.

All of the proceeds will be donated to support Kathy and David…to help cover the co-payments, medical costs, and services for the family during their recovery.  Please take the time to MAKE A FACE!
