Let's go to the Races!
In 2025, the 21st Annual Preakness Party netted over $109,000 in support of the RCC Educational Foundation, the new Health Sciences Building, and the scholarship program. Proceeds help support the RCC student scholarship program that is providing over $700,000 in scholarships for the 2025-26 academic year, and special initiatives to support student success. 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.”
