The Lower Columbia College (LCC) Foundation has named Joe Fischer as the 2019-20 Benefactor of the Year. Benefactor honorees have a history of providing charitable financial support to the foundation, and/or significant volunteer service to the college. Most notably, contributions from honorees have had major impacts on the college, its programs, students, and the community. “It is with great pleasure that we announce and honor Joe Fischer as this year’s Benefactor of the Year,” said Rich Gushman, LCC Foundation Board Chair.

Sharing the love of arts has been a mainstay throughout his career and life, and it continues to inspire Fischer’s passion and generosity for helping others through gifts of time and philanthropy. “Joe clearly understands the important impact that community colleges have in their communities. His generosity will provide support to students and art programs at LCC for years to come,” said Chris Bailey, LCC President.

Fischer will be honored at the 2020 LCC Foundation Horns & Halos Gala in September.
