Art & Wine Scholarship Fundraiser 2024

Last year, we raised over $25,000 for our student scholarship fund. This allowed us to support 12 local Lake County residents continue their education at University Center who are currently enrolled in bachelor completion programs. We also increased our future teacher workforce by supporting future educators with the paraprofessional scholarship, and supported graduate level students. 

So let's raise the bar and shoot for the stars this year! Join us in supporting our Lake County students. At the event you can expect to enjoy appetizers, silent auctions, a future artist show, and drawings. Tickets are $75 each.
