2024 Preakness Party


The Preakness Party is RCC EFI’s signature fundraising event.

Held each May in a different location in RCC’s service region, the event raises funds to support the RCC scholarship program. 

Thank you for supporting the 20th Anniversary Preakness Party

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.

Thank you to our generous sponsors!
