Pull for Cypress

Pull for Cypress, the on-campus employee giving campaign, was established by the Cypress College Foundation over thirty years ago to support our campus and students. The program has grown from a few dozen supporters in the first few years to more than 200 employee donors in recent years. Thank You!

As members of the Cypress College Family, you know the importance of this work. Every day you see the needs of students. Undoubtedly, those needs will continue to increase. You also experience moments of inspiration by the often transformative influence our college has in so many people’s lives. You can make a difference. Together we do make a difference. That’s why your support, no matter the amount, is vital to all of our programs including scholarships, emergency assistance, and other campus programs.

Thank you for your consideration and investment in our community.

I truly cannot give enough thanks for this scholarship opportunity. This goes beyond the monetary amount. I see this privilege as an affirmation that putting my education first was the right step and though there are challenges, they can be overcome with the support of the caring faculty and staff at Cypress. I look forward to the upcoming semester with renewed resolve to do my best, thank you.
