Summary
The Spring 2009 IMPACT Annual Fund Business Campaign kicks off on February 10 and continues until March 10.

Our business co-chairs are JENA SABATINI, owner of Hampton Inn, and PHIL PORRINI, a professional engineer retired from Robert Peccia and Associates who currently works as an engineer consultant. These business co-chairs are dedicated to supporting Carroll as leads for this campaign because they believe in Carroll's mission of educating the whole person and building character through a value-based curriculum.

Jena Sabatini
Jena co-owns Hampton Inn with her husband, Andy. Jena appreciates the impact Carroll College has on her business. Jena hopes to share Carroll's economic impact with the Helena community through her role of Carroll IMPACT Business Campaign Co-Chair.
"Carroll College benefits the Helena community in so many ways. As a business owner, I appreciate the economic impact of the college and the value an educated workforce has in contributing to the success of local businesses. Furthermore, students volunteer thousands of hours each year to causes in our community. Being a part of the business campaign to help fund scholarships that bring these students to Helena completes the circle of one helping the other."

Phil Porrini
Phil is a professional engineer retired from Robert Peccia and Associates who currently works as an engineer consultant. Phil is excited to be a part with the 2008 Carroll IMPACT Business Campaign.
“The value of a good Catholic education has impacted myself and my family directly. Donating time and money to the worthwhile endeavor of educating young people is the best way possible to give back to your community. Some Carroll students are struggling, and these students need the blessing of our resources. For me, that’s definitely a worthy cause."

Jenna Kesler and Patrick Manning
Carroll's IMPACT student co-chairs are Jenna Kesler, a senior Communications/Public Relations major from Choteau, Montana, and senior Communications/Public Relations major Patrick Manning from Lake Oswego, Oregon.
