Owens Foundation and Hilton Garden Inn present ‘An UnCommon Evening’ Gala, March 26
“An UnCommon Evening” of dinner and entertainment in support of the Success Scholarship Program as Owens Community College’s Foundation and the Hilton Garden Inn at Levis Commons present “An UnCommon Evening” Gala on Friday, March 26, 2010.
The black tie optional gala, which will begin at 6:30 p.m. in the Hilton Garden Inn at Levis Commons in Perrysburg, features dinner prepared by the Hilton Garden Inn’s own masterful catering staff. Attendees will have the opportunity to participate in several loud and silent auctions as well as dance the evening away courtesy of an array of uncommon talent and entertainment.
All “An UnCommon Evening” proceeds benefit Owens scholarships through the Success Program. In February 2008, Owens and the College’s Foundation announced the first stage of its Success Scholarship Program designed to make college affordable for high school graduates with financial need. Piloted at Woodward and Findlay high schools, the scholarship bridges the gap between a student’s financial grant aid and the cost of tuition and fees at Owens. For the 2009-10 academic year, the Success Program has been expanded to include the entire Toledo Public School District as well as Whitmer High School.
Individuals, businesses and organizations are invited to support “An UnCommon Evening” Gala by becoming a scholarship sponsor. Among the various levels of support include the Summa Cum Laude Sponsor ($10,000), Magna Cum Laude Sponsor ($5,000), Cum Laude Sponsor ($2,500) and Dean’s List Sponsor ($1,500). In addition, individual tickets for the event are $100 per person.
