Send Your Boat to College

Boat Donation and Resale Program      

 Boat donations needed:

Gifts of boats, trailers and other marine equipment are either used in instruction in college marine trades programs or sold for the best price that can be obtained. 

 Donated boats:

• Support student aid
• Help teachers upgrade their skills
• Buy instructional equipment and supplies
• Provide emergency aid for students
• Make sure Carteret Community College has resources to meet opportunities for excellence

 Benefits to Donors

• You help Carteret Community College students, most of whom will stay in the county to work and raise families
• You receive a tax deduction as allowed by law
• You save slip rent, gas costs, mechanics bills, and other maintenance expenses for a boat that you may use only a few times a year
• You join Carteret Community College’s mission “…to be a leader in improving the quality of life for all citizens of Carteret County and Eastern North Carolina by offering high quality, innovative education, training, enrichment and support to all who need and value these services.”

 Current tax law allows donors to use the sales price of the donated boat in computing their tax deduction.  Boat Program Coordinator Capt. Wes Daniels determines sales prices by comparing vessels listed on the Internet and in specialized publications  He also relies on his lifetime of boating experience when evaluating the boat.  To get the best possible price and allow the longest possible time for a sale within the calendar year of the donation, donate as early in the year as possible.

When the ambulance pulled up to the front door of Carteret Community College, people stopped and stared wondering what the emergency was.  Then the ambulance driver got out and handed the keys to the college’s president, Dr. Kerry Youngblood.  Others lined up to peer inside the ambulance.

There was no emergency after all, it was just two former graduates of the college returning to donate their ambulance.

“That’s something you don’t see every day,” Dr. Youngblood said, referring to the gift from Mike and Jaime Smith of Crystal Coast Medical Transport.  “Mike is a graduate of the college’s first paramedic class in 2001, and Jaime graduated from the program in 2005.”

The 1990 Ford diesel ambulance will be used by the college’s paramedic and emergency medical technician students and other health science programs to create realistic training scenarios involving the pick-up, transport, and treatment of simulated patients on the college campus.

“The ambulance will really add a dimension of realism to the program,” said Hetty Wallace, coordinator of the Emergency Medical Science program at the college.  “We will use it to simulate realistic training scenarios around campus.”

Shortly after they had handed over the keys, Mike and Jaime Smith made it clear how important they think the donation is to future EMS workers and the county.

 “Our purpose for the donation was to give the EMS students an additional training tool that was not available when we went through our EMS courses at the college,” said Jaime Smith.  “There is a lot of difference between practicing skills in the classroom and using these skills in the back of a moving ambulance.”

The Smiths started Crystal Coast Medical Transport in 2007 with two ambulances.  Today, they have 44 employees and 10 ambulances.  The majority of transports they perform move patients from the hospital to their homes or residential facilities, and also to physicians’ offices, dialysis treatment, and even to the emergency room.

“We are both natives of Carteret County, and we believe CCC is an asset to the county, and it gives a lot of folks the chance to expand their opportunities,” said Mike Smith.  “We are really happy that we are now in a place where we can help contribute to this as well.”

As the old year ends,

We gratefully think of our friends,

Wishing you and those you hold dear

Wonderful holidays and a

Happy New Year!

Carteret Community College Graduation 2009

 

 

The Holiday Season is a time to celebrate people and values that we hold dear.  It is also a time to consider a year-end donation.  Carteret Community College is grateful for those who support the college and our students.  Without your help, our students would not be able to afford to attend college, or would not have the supplies and books they need to get their work done.

You are making a positive change in our community by helping Carteret students succeed.  We hope you are as proud as we are that, with your assistance, students become the nurses, health care technicians, mechanics, carpenters, law enforcement officers, computer specialists, paralegals, and business people who make our community such a wonderful place to live.  Because of your generosity, students who are the first in their families to go to college are starting at Carteret and finishing at universities like North Carolina State University and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.

Cash gifts postmarked by December 31^st, 2009 can help reduce your 2009 federal income taxes.  For your convenience, you can  “Donate Now” at www.carteret.edu/foundation Donate Now.  As credit card donations are deductible in the year in which the charge is actually made, your credit card donation must be received by 5:00 p.m. (EST) on December 31^st, 2009 in order for the donation to be processed and qualify as a 2009 contribution.  If you itemize, the higher your tax bracket the greater the savings for your charitable deductions.

From everyone at Carteret Community College, thank you again for your support of our college and our students.

With a low score of 55, the team of Richard Stanley, Pete Wachter, Floyd Messer, and Norm Schultz won the first flight first place prize.

Gray skies and cooler temperatures didn’t dampen the spirit of the players and volunteers at Carteret Community College Foundation’s 15^th Annual Scholarship Golf Tournament Thursday, October 29 at Brandywine Bay Country Club.  Despite a two-week weather delay, 61 players participated in the friend-raiser that provides support for students.
