2 OWL’S NEST VIRTUAL CASINO NIGHT • October 29 & 30, 2020

For more than 25 years,

Infineum USA has been one

of Union County College

Foundation’s most g­ enerous

corporate partners in

­support of our mission to

accelerate the pace of

student success. This year

we honor Infineum USA as

our Corporate Partner of

the Year.

Infineum’s support ranges from
sponsoring our Golf outing in the
Spring, to our Gala in the Fall. In
addition, they have established
an endowed scholarship for our
Engineering and Technology
students and provided thousands
of dollars to purchase supplies
and equipment for our STEM
Division. Over the past 25 years,
Infineum has invested over
$300,000 in our students.

Our ability to accelerate the
pace of student success is
tied directly to those in our
community who believe that
education is the great equalizer
in our society. Infineum USA,
serving as our partner in
education, stands with us to
ensure that economics is not a
roadblock to academic s­ uccess.

We applaud them and thank
them for their continued
commitment to Union County
College, the Foundation and the
students we serve.

At ShopRite, we’ve found that giving back in the cities and towns we serve is
just something a good neighbor should do. That’s why we’re proud to support
the Union County College Foundation in their mission — supporting the
educational needs of the students by providing resources not available
through public funding. Because, after all, this is our neighborhood too.
