Dear Friends of Cypress College Foundation,

Thank you for your generous support of Cypress College students during the 49th Annual Americana Awards!

Your gifts through the silent and live auctions and fund-a-need make a lasting impact on students like our Americana speaker, Kendrick Hopson.

Congratulations to our Person of the Year Bobbie Stovall and all of our honorees! You can view their videos below along with our Americana Photo Gallery.

Our students need your help. Please make a direct contribution to help students like Kendrick through Fund-A-Need and the Americana Honoree Scholarship.

With gratitude,

Cypress College Foundation Board & Staff
