SOUTH HOLLAND, IL –(ENEWSPF)—March 20, 2015. Each year the South Suburban College Foundation (SSCF) has an annual spring gala from which all proceeds benefit scholarship programs. The SSCF is now seeking support from local residents, friends and partners for Showcase 2015: Lighting the Path to Lifelong Learning, to be held on April 24 at Glenwoodie Golf Club, 19301 S. State Street, Glenwood. All proceeds from this year’s event will benefit college scholarships for returning adult students through the Foundation’s new Jane Ellen Stocker Adult Education Fund.
With the cost of higher education on the rise and the level of state funding on the decline, students are finding it more and more difficult to afford a full-time college education. The SSC Foundation’s support is often critical for students to begin or continue their college education. Individuals and local businesses can support this mission while marketing themselves to approximately 300 guests through tax-deductible sponsorships and auction gifts. Tickets are also available for $125 each.
The event begins at 6:30 p.m. and features an open bar and plated dinner, silent auction, dancing, and the outstanding music of The Connexion. Sponsorship levels are as follows:
$2,000 Platinum: Establish Scholarship, Top Sponsor Signage and Announced at event
$1,000 Gold: Top Sponsor Signage and Announced at event
$500 Silver: Sponsor Signage
$300 Bronze: Sponsor Signage
Donations for this cause are fully tax deductible, and are an investment in the economic development of the south suburban region and a better future for thousands of residents who depend on SSC for their education and training.
