Reach for the Stars for OC Students!
YOUR SUPPORT HELPS STUDENTS REACH FOR THE STARS
Many Olympic College students face obstacles that can keep them from achieving their dreams. Financial obstacles. Educational obstacles. Opportunity obstacles. Your support helps students leap over those obstacles, complete their degrees and fill vital jobs in our community. YOU make the difference for hundreds of students each year by providing scholarships, textbooks, digital access, emergency support, and more.
Registration opens Friday, March 17, at 5pm!
To keep our guests safe while still preserving the unique experience of our in-person event at Anthony’s at Sinclair Inlet, we’ve made some changes this year. We’ve pushed the date for our 15th Annual Auction & Brunch back by a month to allow time for Covid-19 case numbers to fall. In addition, our presenting sponsor Anthony’s will be providing a tented outdoor space to maximize social distancing. Here’s what won’t change: the spectacular venue, mouthwatering brunch and great cause. Auction proceeds directly support OC students!
Event – Starts with an online silent auction April 1-16 and culminates with our in-person live auction and brunch and the opportunity to meet students whose futures are brighter because of YOUR support.
Open Now – the ability to check out the online silent auction. Reservations are open, and tickets are $125 per person.
Sponsorships – Still available at the $1,500 and $750 levels and include tickets to the event as well as recognition for your business on the event platform, social media, and event web page. Contact Erin Chung-Hoon, Auction Committee Chair, at (360) 475-7124 or [email protected] for details.
