STAR Power Women's Giving Initiative
STAR Power is the MCC Foundation’s women’s giving initiative. Inspired by a generous challenge, the women of the MCC Foundation Board of Directors launched STAR Power in 2013 to raise money in support of primary caregivers of a minor child who are head of household and pursuing their education at MCC. Scholarship support is often vital to their success and alleviates the some of the burden of juggling school with family responsibilities and work. By helping these students overcome financial barriers and complete their studies, we are helping their families and strengthening our community.
