The Haywood Community College Foundation will hold their third annual Shine & Dine Gala Friday, September 14, from 6:00 until 8:30 p.m. at the Laurel Ridge Country Club in Waynesville. The focus of this year’s Gala is “Chopping for Champions,” fundraising for the construction of a new timbersports training facility. The event will feature a buffet dinner, music and the opportunity to learn more about and support HCC’s timbersports team through a silent auction. Haywood Regional Medical Center, a Duke LifePoint Hospital, is the presenting sponsor.
Proceeds from the Gala will be used to construct the facility that will be used for timbersports as well as other campus events and activities. This facility will be 100 percent donor-funded. The following sponsorship levels are available: Deluxe Sponsor starting at a $5,000 donation; Supporting Sponsor with a $2,500 donation; President’s Circle with a $1,000 donation; Shining Stars of HCC with a $500 donation; and Friends of HCC with a $250 donation. Additionally, silent auction donations are currently being accepted. Information on sponsorships and silent auction donations can be found at hccgalaevents.com.
