MOSES LAKE - With 2012 representing Big Bend Community College's 50th anniversary, the college's annual Cellarbration fund-raiser offers supporters a blast from the past.

The event is 5 p.m., May 19, in Big Bend's ATEC building.

"We hope people can put together alumni tables from each decade since 1962 to help us with the 50th anniversary theme," said Judy Oakes, co-chair of this year's event. "We want to recognize the accomplishments of Big Bend's students of the last 50 years at the same time we are supporting scholarships."

Cellarbration! For Education is a premium wine dinner and auction that pairs a five-course gourmet dinner with Washington wines and exceptional service and décor.

The event raises funds through cash sponsorships, ticket sales and auction items to support scholarships for recent high school graduates, returning students, and professional and technical students. It also raises money to help students cope with financial emergencies.

The event features a "Bling" raffle for a one carat diamond from Harrison's Diamonds and Designs and a Leonetti wine auction - a chance to bid on wines unavailable to those not on the winery's waiting list.

The committee is soliciting sponsorships and auction items for the event. People can contact the Big Bend Community College Foundation at 509-793-2006 for sponsorship forms, auction donation forms or to make reservations.
