WEST BURLINGTON, Iowa - SCC hosted its annual Great Tastes fundraiser on Friday, November 1, at the Catfish Bend Convention & Event Center, raising over $60,000 for student scholarships and educational initiatives.
The event featured gourmet food and drink tastings and a silent auction featuring items from local businesses. The evening’s highlight was the live auction, which included unique experiences and packages that spurred spirited bidding.
SCC Foundation President Val Giannettino expressed gratitude for the community's generosity.
“We know people have options with their charitable giving to support so many worthy causes in our communities,” said Giannettino. “That’s why every dollar of support counts. The money raised impacts hundreds of students every year.”
The fundraiser is one of the SCC Foundation's signature events, with proceeds directly benefiting scholarships and other initiatives that support students in achieving their educational and career goals
The SCC Foundation thanks the event sponsors, donors, and attendees for making this year’s Great Tastes a tremendous success. For more information about upcoming events or ways to support SCC, visit the SCC Foundation page.
