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 is to raise $50,000 by June 21.

Donate online by visiting www.tdn.com/students, or send a check made payable to "LCC Foundation-Students in Need" to Lower Columbia College Foundation, PO BOX 3010, Longview, WA 98632.
