The drive raises money for the Lower Columbia College Student Success Fund, which creates grants to help students overcome financial humps that might otherwise force them to drop out of school.
All proceeds from the fund go to the college.
This is the drive's 11th year, and its fundraising goal was to raise $50,000 by June 15. The LCC Foundation decided to end the donation drive early so as not to compete with community fundraisers for families affected by the May 26 fatal Nippon chemical spill.
