Great Tastes Fundraiser Set for Friday, November 1

WEST BURLINGTON, Iowa — The annual Southeastern Community College Foundation (SCCF) Great Tastes event is scheduled for Friday, November 1, at the Catfish Bend Convention & Event Center in Burlington.

Check-in begins at 5:30 p.m. with the event starting at 6 p.m.

Guests will sample a wide variety of beer, wine, and spirits from regional producers and distributors. They will also enjoy a delicious spread of foods and desserts.

In addition to food and beverages, the evening features a large silent auction of unique items and gift baskets. The evening ends with an exciting live auction. This year's items include gourmet dinner parties, fall and holiday decor, fun excursions, and unique trips and experiences—even a trip to Greece.

Executive Director for Institutional Advancement Val Giannettino appreciates the generous support that the community offers to students each year.

“The gift of an education changes our students’ lives for the long-term,” she says. “We love hosting this event so friends can get together for a fun night with the added bonus of raising a lot of money for a great cause.”

Net proceeds support SCC Foundation Board scholarships, instructional program mini-grants, and SCC initiatives.

Individual tickets are $50 each in advance or $60 at the door. Sponsor tables for eight are available for $500.
