Some Enchanted Evening celebrated its 25th anniversary on Nov. 12, 2011. The black-tie event featured an elegant six-course gourmet dinner served with fine wines, a social hour, entertainment arranged and performed specially for the evening, and dancing until midnight. The proceeds from the event support student scholarships.

The JCCC Foundation has helped thousands of students pursue their dream of a college education. Students with exceptional needs, such as single parents and displaced workers, and talented students in all areas of study benefit from Foundation scholarships. More than $5.1 million has been raised over the past 25 years for the student scholarship program through Some Enchanted Evening.

The endowment that provides the funds for scholarships and other programs has grown to more than $12 million. Last year, the JCCC Foundation made more than $900,000 available for student scholarships. These funds are generated by endowment revenue and individual contributions.

The following students are recipients of scholarships that have been funded by the proceeds from Some Enchanted Evening.

• Carmaleta Gilmore
• Lori Hammons
• Leon Jones
• Sonya Ledbetter

The highlight of this 25th Anniversary evening will be honoring the past 24 Johnson Countians of the Year.
