MOSES LAKE — Tickets are now on sale for Cellarbration! for Education, the annual fundraiser for the Big Bend Community College Foundation. Cellarbration! is scheduled for 5 p.m. March 16 in the ATEC building in the BBCC campus.
The evening kicks off with a beer and wine tasting, along with a silent auction. That’s followed by dinner and a live auction. Michael’s on the Lake will cater dinner, with wines provided by Milbrandt Vineyards.
Foundation director LeAnne Parton said all of the proceeds from the dinner go to scholarships for BBCC students.
“It will be a great opportunity for people to come together, enjoy food and appreciate some fine wine, all the while contributing to the cause of investing in the future of our students,” Parton said.
Cellarbration! has been one of the foundation’s biggest fundraisers since the first one in 2002. Since then Cellarbration has raised close to $2 million for student scholarships, according to a BBCC press release.
