Besser Supports Education

As ground breaking day for Alpena Community College’s (ACC) Van Lare Hall renovation project draws near, the ACC Foundation is wrapping up the final stages of its Healthy Futures Start Here campaign. As ACC’s neighbors to the east, Besser is keeping the momentum alive with our recent donation of $50,000. “Alpena has been home to Besser Company employees for over 115 years, creating a necessary and vested interest in the educational opportunities offered within the community,” said Kevin Curtis, Besser Company CEO. “These students are the employees of tomorrow and are well-deserving of increased opportunities to gain an education in their hometown. We’re proud to see our longstanding partnership with Alpena Community College continue to grow over the years through donations of scholarships, facility upgrades, and in cases like these, full expansion efforts.”

“We are grateful for the loyal community support from businesses like Besser Company” said Brenda Herman, ACC Foundation Executive Director. “Their support, combined with donations from over 300 individuals, businesses and foundations, have generated a total of $2,925,000 toward our $2.95 million goal. The end is in sight, with just $25,000 remaining.”
