The Lake Washington College Foundation raised more than $70,000 to assist college students and faculty through their Pathways to Learning Benefit Breakfast on Oct. 27.

The event featured a keynote address from Eddie Barbini, the Emmy-nominated executive producer of the Discovery Channel’s Dirty Jobs. State Rep. Larry Springer, 45th District, was the master of ceremonies.

The funding allows the Foundation to assist students and faculty in three ways:

· Providing students with financial support, enabling them to pursue their academic goals;

· Providing families opportunities to improve their lives and live up to their potential;

· Offering professional development and career training options for LWTC faculty.
