Shandy Hall in Richmond County
Guests enjoyed food from local restaurants, beverages, silent and live auctions, DJ, and viewing of the Preakness Stakes live on a large screen. The fun also included a contest for the “Most Audacious Hat” and “Best Dressed Man.”
The 20th Anniversary Preakness Party netted over $88,000 in support of the RCC Educational Foundation and its scholarship program. Proceeds help support the RCC student scholarship program that is providing over $700,000 in scholarships for the 2024-25 academic year, as well as student emergency financial assistance and textbook purchases.
