ROSEDALE, MD—A local university has received a very generous gift.

Community College of Baltimore County alumnus and renowned choreographer Peter Pucci recently presented the CCBC Foundation with a $10,000 donation.

The funds will be used to establish the Carole Drake Cascio Dance Scholarship.

Cascio was the founding program director for the CCBC Dance Company.

Two newly renovated dance studios at CCBC Essex will be named in her honor.
