The Robert and Anne Schmit endowment fund in the Community Foundation For Delta County has provided gifts to 10 eligible organizations in the community. David Williams, board chair of the community foundation presents a check for $2,020.42 to Bay College President Dr. Laura Coleman. “Mr. and Mrs. Schmit were longtime residents and Mr. Schmit was a very successful businessman and investor. He was very involved in the community and was a member of the Escanaba City Band for many years. The Schmit’s raised two wonderful children who inherited their parents desire to ‘give back’ to the community. The Robert and Anne Schmit endowment will provide annual gifts to not only Bay College but also to a number of other local organizations well into the future thru their fund in the foundation,” said Williams. Bay College President Dr. Laura Coleman said, “Once again we are grateful to Mr. and Mrs. Schmit for their wonderful gift to Bay College. Their gift will be used to provide scholarships to a number of students with financial needs. It is my pleasure on behalf of the Bay College Board, Staff and Students to thank the Schmit family and community foundation for the financial support provided to the college.”
