Petty Family Foundation Donates Money for Scholarships at RCC

On Monday, Jan. 12, the Petty Family Foundation donated $6,000 to the Randolph Community College Foundation. The funds will be used to provide scholarships to local high school seniors who plan to enroll in Randolph Community College after graduation. The donation was made in honor of NASCAR legend Richard Petty’s wife Lynda, who passed away in March of last year.

“Lynda was all about education and what it could do for kids, so today was sort of a special way to honor that”, said Richard. “Our mom was very active in public education, and sat on the school board for sixteen years” added Petty’s daughter Rebecca Moffitt. “We knew that she would have wanted us to give back to our county schools.”
