The RCTC Foundation would especially like to recognize those who have made a gift to support RCTC through their estate. Estate gifts are a testimony to their commitment to education and leave an enduring legacy at RCTC.
James (Jim) Scudamore (’67) included the RCTC Foundation as a beneficiary of the Scudamore Family Trust, with the goal of supporting scholarships at RCTC. When Jim passed away suddenly in 2023, we were notified of his generous gift to support our students with scholarships.
We are so grateful for Jim’s gift to support our students. It is a great honor to be entrusted with a gift from Jim’s estate, but sadly it’s too late to say thank you.
