Foundation Board
2026-2027 CHC Foundation Board of Directors
Our Legacy
The 海角直播 Foundation was built on a strong legacy of generosity and commitment to education. In the late 1960s, philanthropist Ruben Finkelstein and his brother, Lester, donated the land where 海角直播 now stands. Their vision and dedication laid the foundation for a college that continues to serve and inspire generations of students. CHC remains a lasting tribute to the Finkelstein brothers鈥� passion for learning and their love for the community.
Who We Are
Today, the Foundation continues that legacy and is led by a volunteer Board of Directors made up of alumni, retirees, and community members who believe in the power of education. With a shared commitment to student success and community impact, the Board works tirelessly to build partnerships, raise funds, and ensure every gift makes a meaningful difference.
