An Evening on the Hill – CC’s Denim and Diamonds Sparkles with Purpose Oct. 4

Our magical event will be held in the fall this year. But it still gives everyone the opportunity to dress up in denim, diamonds, or any combination thereof and join colleagues, friends, and supporters for a night that’s not only fun fbut also benefits education.

As always, the fundraiser will deliver an evening of fabulous food, dancing, and entertainment.

We’ll be joined this year by the Old West Mounted Lawmen, who are donating a jail for our use. We suggest staying on the “right side of the law” if you don’t want to get locked up in the hoosegow. (No worries, though, if you are. “Bail money” can be donated to the Foundation.)

In addition to a curated meal, we’ll also have an authentic chuck wagon serving up “cowboy coffee” and a down-home silent auction featuring a Cooking Class with Mirna from Mediterranean Market; a Bob Ross Painting Party and Dinner;  and handmade wool sweaters by local artisan Lynn Crow – along with several raffle items.

The Denim and Diamonds Gala is a signature event for the CCCC Foundation, a non-profit organization that has been a major force in helping students turn their hopes and dreams for a college education into reality and achieve their potential at Cerro Coso. All proceeds support Cerro Coso’s mission of providing student support services and sponsoring numerous Cerro Coso activities.

The event is open to all, with former CCCC instructors and staff especially encouraged to attend.

The gala will kick off on October 4 at 6 p.m. Tickets are $125 per person or $230 per couple, with a portion of the ticket price being tax-deductible.

Seating is limited. VIP tables are available. For more information or to be placed on the reservation list, please contact the Foundation at kimberly.metcalf@cerrocoso.edu or call (760) 384-6145.

Thank you for supporting our students and community—together, we make a difference.
