JCCC Dollars for Scholars

JCCC Dollars for Scholars

Johnson County Community College’s Dollars for Scholars, an annual fundraiser for student scholarships, begins at 6:30 p.m. Friday, April 23, at the Ritz Charles, 9000 W. 137th St. This year’s theme, Fields of Dreams, encourages participants to explore fields of opportunity and support career dreams as they benefit student assistance and programming.

The evening features live and silent auctions, buffet dinner, beverages, raffle, games of chance and entertainment. Tickets are $25 a person, $15 for students with a JCCC ID or $240 for a reserved table of eight. Hosted by JCCC friends, alumni, faculty, staff and students, Fields of Dreams is open to the public. Advanced tickets are required, available by calling 913-469-3835 or online at “Events.”

Included in the auction are hundreds of items, ranging from certificates to restaurants and services, vacation getaways and sports memorabilia. The 2009 auction raised more than $54,000 for 30 scholarships and program funds.

Sandy Price, president of the JCCC Foundation board of directors, is the Fields of Dreams honorary chair.
