"We appreciated the dedication to education that Mr. and Mrs. Beech have demonstrated through their lives," LCC President Dr. Steve Scott said. "This scholarship will enable students to pursure their careers who may not otherwise have the opportunity." LCC Foundation Executive Director Jeanne Kennedy said this donation will enable the Foundation to serve more students seeking an education.
