More than $5 million has been raised over the past 26 years for the student scholarship program through Some Enchanted Evening.The highlight of the evening will be awarding the Johnson Countian of the Year to Lynn Mitchelson.
“From my initial introduction to JCCC in the late 1990s, I saw Lynn Mitchelson as a leader of the college and an advocate for students,” said Steve Wilkinson, president and CEO of Menorah Hospital and JCCC Foundation president. “Over the ensuing years, I watched Lynn demonstrate his commitment in many different ways. Lynn Mitchelson’s name has been synonymous with leadership and JCCC. I’m pleased he is being honored this year.”
“The college is pleased to honor Lynn Mitchelson in this way,” said Terry Calaway, JCCC president. “In addition to all his civic work, Lynn has been a tireless supporter of JCCC for many, many years, serving with the Foundation and on the college’s board of trustees. It’s an honor for us to recognize him as the next Johnson Countian of the Year.”
