Sally and Russell Robinson

“We are delighted to be able to participate in CPCC’s program offering scholarships to young women who have just graduated from West Charlotte High School. We have lived in Charlotte all of our lives and believe that West Charlotte is a vital part of our community. Over the last decade the school has struggled, but Project Lift is already rebuilding the strength of this important educational institution. It is inspiring for us to be part of helping motivated young women move from high school to college, knowing that without financial help this would not be possible. These young women will become outstanding alumnae from West Charlotte because of the educational experience they will have at CPCC.” – Sally and Russell Robinson
