Talon Club
Talon Club Sponsorship Program members make an annual contribution of $1500 that is designated to support the Campus Grants Program. Members receive one solicitation request annually and are recognized as sponsors of all RCC Foundation events and receive presidential invitations to college events.
Eyrie Society
The Eyrie Society is named after the eagle’s nest to which the bird returns each year, building upon the same nest to make it stronger. This concept of continually building for strength makes this a very appropriate name for the Foundation’s planned giving club. Club membership is composed of donors who have notified the Foundation that they have included the college in their estate plans.
