Edison State Community College
Charger 300
Club Event To Support Student–Athletes
The Edison State Community College Foundation and Athletics Department
are partnering to host the seventh annual Charger 300 Club event on
Thursday, March 17, at 6 p.m. in the Robinson Theater at the Piqua
Campus. The event is held to help raise funds for the College’s
athletic programs.
A reverse raffle will highlight the evening’s events, with one lucky
winner walking away with a $10,000 prize. Other cash drawings will be
held throughout the night and ticket holders are not required to be
present to win.
“We had a great turnout last year and hope to have even more this
year,” said Nate Cole, Director of Athletics and Student Life. “There
will be plenty of great food, good company, and a chance to win ten
grand–all while helping our student-athletes.”
Tickets are $100 per couple and include all-you-can-eat buffet,
beverages, entertainment, and a chance to win. A silent auction will
also be held featuring items such as NFL tickets, Dayton Dragon
tickets, gift cards, and more.
“We’re fortunate to have such a high–caliber pool of athletes to draw
from in the area,” added Cole. “This event helps support these athletes
by covering some of the costs that they may otherwise have to pay. They
can become part of an athletic team and take classes without worrying
about the financial burdens typically associated with college.”
Funds raised by the event assist Edison State in providing the best
experience possible for student-athletes and have previously assisted
the teams in post-season travel, uniform expenses, and equipment and
facility upgrades.
Edison State’s baseball, basketball, and volleyball teams compete in
the Ohio Community College Athletic Conference and are Division II
members of the National Junior College Athletic Association. Within the
last year, Edison State has also made the club sports of cross country
and women’s soccer available to students.
