The SCC Student Veterans Organization (SVO) will be sponsoring two upcoming fundraisers.

The first will be on Saturday, Oct. 3, from 9:30 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. at Super Saver on 56th and Highway 2 in Lincoln. At that event, the SVO will be selling brats, hotdogs, soda and chips for $2.

Then on Wednesday, Oct. 14, at 9:30 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. in front of the Student Center, mixed bags of popcorn and M&Ms will be sold for $1.50 per bag.

The SVO is looking for student and employee volunteers for both events.

All proceeds will be put towards SCC Student Veterans Organization activities, programming and financial assistance.

Additionally, the SVO is offering a scholarship for Fall 2015 quarter, and the deadline is Friday, Oct. 30.

Please contact Charles Brewer at 402-437-2668 or email [email protected] if you are interested in volunteering or applying for scholarship.

In other veteran-related events, the Veterans Connect Center ribbon-cutting event on Friday, Sept. 11, was attended by many students and members of the community, both civilian and military.
