Ivy Tech Lake campus raises more than $10,000
Ivy Tech Community College's Lake County campus raised more than $10,000 to support scholarships and programs on this year's Ivy Tech Day, the college's third annual day of giving. According to a release, more than 2,800 alumni, friends and partners across Indiana donated $483,813 on April 8 to help more than 200,000 students across Ivy Tech's 19 campuses. The Lake County campus received donations totaling $10,025. This year's total brings the three-year cumulative giving statewide to more than $1 million since the first Ivy Tech Day in 2023. The contributions fund the greatest needs at each campus supporting student success and powering Indiana's economy – including early childhood education, cybersecurity and Ivy Tech's nationally leading two-year nursing program, which awards more associate degrees than any other institution in the country. 'Ivy Tech is committed to delivering higher education at the speed of life, and our alumni, students and partners once again showed their belief in our mission,' said Sue Ellspermann, president of Ivy Tech Community College. Officials said more than four in five graduates stay in Indiana to work and live; the college contributes nearly $4 billion annually to Indiana's economy and 84% of graduates finish without student loan debt.

Ivy Tech Kokomo Service Area raises $60,000 during Ivy Tech Day
Ivy Tech Community College celebrated Ivy Tech Day on Tuesday, April 8, and the Kokomo Service Area raised $60,000 in donations to support Ivy Tech student success. Ivy Tech Day is a day for celebrating the school and raising money to help students succeed. This is the third year that Ivy Tech has held the event. The Ivy Tech Kokomo team sat a goal of raising $45,000 during the 24-hours of giving. The Kokomo service area was the top funded area during the day thanks to 391 gifts. Ivy Tech raised a total of $480,000 from 2,900 gifts from across the state. The Kokomo Service Area includes Cass, Fulton, Howard, Miami, Pulaski and Tipton counties. '(Tuesday's) level of engagement made for the best Ivy Tech Day yet,' said Dr. Ethan Heicher, chancellor of the Ivy Tech Kokomo Service Area. 'And the most important part of the day was the financial support that we generated for our students and the palpable sense of community we created on our campus.' 'We are so incredibly grateful to our many community partners who joined in supporting the Ivy Tech Kokomo culture of pulling together to help our students,' said Kelly Karickhoff, executive director of Resource Development for the service area. 'Those of us on campus all see the impact these donations have in breaking down barriers and supporting student success,' Karickhoff added. 'But Ivy Tech Day shines a light on our impact in the communities and how much people believe in what Ivy Tech is doing.' Last year, Ivy Tech Kokomo garnered 268 gifts totaling $41,687, far exceeding the first year's results of 171 gifts and $25,000 in donations on Ivy Tech Day. Karickhoff thanked Kokomo's Ivy Tech Day partners, including Security Federal Savings Bank, Coca-Cola Bottling Company Kokomo, Community Howard Regional Health, La Fiesta Restaurant of Logansport, Pizza Quik of Peru, Larison Media and the Kokomo Post. She noted that donors had successfully met every match and challenge issued by more than a dozen supporters that honored everything from first-generation students to members of the Circle of Ivy Women in Philanthropy group to alumni and retirees. 'This one day 'can mean everything' for our students,' Karickhoff added. 'All these gifts stay local and will help students who live and work in our six-county region.'
