The Sampson Community College (SCC) Foundation is a registered 501(c)(3) non-profit that cultivates community support for SCC and seeks funding from the private sector to support the college mission.
Gifts to the Foundation fund student scholarships, student programs, and support staff. The Foundation also promotes the college through community outreach events throughout the year. All proceeds go directly towards supporting student scholarships.
Sampson Classic Golf Tournament
For the past 20 years, the SCC Foundation has held an annual Golf Tournament where competitors tee-off in support of student scholarships. The tournament allows local golfers and businesses to raise funds for student scholarships and faculty outreach, making it one of the Foundation’s largest donation events of the year. Created in memory of William M. Johnson, Jr., prizes and winners are awarded in all flights.

Sampson Shuffle
In November of 2021, the SCC Foundation held its first ever 5K & Fun Run event, commemorating the dedication of the College’s Sampson East Park through ‘Celebrate Sampson.’ Renaming the Sampson Shuffle, the Foundation continues to host the annual race, complete with food trucks and music open to the community. Over 100 participants come out in support of student success each year, with proceeds going directly towards SCC and YMCA scholarships- whom the Foundation has partnered with since 2023 to host the ‘Shuffle.’

Campus Drive
The goal of the Campus Drive is to raise funds for student scholarships through a faculty/staff-focused event. SCC is the only community college in the state of North Carolina that has enjoyed 100% participation in donations from its employees since its inception. Employees come together to donate and pledge support for student scholarships, staff and faculty development, and other campus programs through dressing according to theme.

Donor Appreciation Reception
Much like the Scholar-Donor Picnic, the Foundation’s annual Donor Appreciation Reception honors the generosity of the donors who have contributed to student scholarships during the academic year. It’s a time of fellowship with other local community members, a chance to meet with Student Ambassadors, and a small way the Foundation is able to ‘give back’ to the individuals who continuously show their support of student success.

Scholar-Donor Picnic
Formerly called the Scholar-Donor Cookout, in September of each year SCC welcomes student scholars to campus for the opportunity to meet with the donors responsible for funding their awards. It’s a time to celebrate the achievements of Foundation scholars for the academic year while also thanking the generous donors behind the scholarships.
