Day for Nicolet
The Day for Nicolet is the largest fundraising event of the Nicolet College Foundation. One day each fall, Foundation volunteers go out into our local communities and request donations from our partners (businesses, organizations, and individuals). These donations are combined to create scholarships for deserving Nicolet College students. In the fall of 2007, A Day for Nicolet raised a record $120,140 for scholarships.
All funds collected are used directly for scholarships. No funds are used for costs associated with the fundraiser.
Mary Pautz
2008 Friends and Partners Award Recipient
Long-time Nicolet College Foundation donor Mary Pautz has been awarded the 2008 Friends and Partners Award. The Foundation created this award in 1995 to recognize businesses, groups or individuals who have played a key role in helping the college achieve its mission of service to the Nicolet District. Mary has generously supported the Foundation for more than a decade through scholarships and other gifts. As a retired nurse herself, Mary wanted to provide Nicolet's nursing students additional opportunities for studying. Her recent gift funds the Student Success Program which provides tutoring services for students in the Associate Degree Nursing Program.
