MCC VENICE ROCKED WITH THE VENICE SYMPHONY
AT THE ANNUAL EVENING UNDER THE STARS EVENT
Venice, FL ‚ June 7, 2006--The Foundation for Manatee Community College gained financially from the recent Evening Under the Stars event, but the nearly 2,000 members of the Venice community who attended were the big winners at this year‚ celebration.
PGT Industries once again sponsored the fireworks display, which this year was heralded as the best ever, pleasing the crowd for nearly 10 minutes of non-stop breathtaking fireworks created by Garden State Fireworks.
The event was energized at the start when Max Corzilius of Emcee Electronics announced his intentions to match, up to $50,000 any contributions to the Max Corzilius music scholarship created by his friends in his honor of his eightieth birthday. An anonymous donor has already contributed $10,000. Community members are welcome to support this scholarship with contributions, which are matched 100% with State of Florida matching funds. Because of these matches, a gift of $1,000 would become a gift of $3,000, tripling the contribution made to the scholarship fund.
