UKIAH – “Gala on the Green,” an annual fundraiser to benefit Mendocino College students and programs, is scheduled for June 18 at Campovida, 13601 Old River Road, Hopland.
The gala begins at 5:30 p.m. and will be preceded by optional tours of the Campovida gardens between 4:30 and 5:30 p.m.
Presented by the Mendocino College Foundation, the event features dinner, wine, auctions and music.
Tickets for the event are $100 per person. Tables, with seating for eight people each, may be reserved for $700. Additional information about tickets and table reservations will soon be available on the Foundation’s website, http://foundation.mendocino.edu.
Proceeds from the event are used to fund scholarships for students and provide support for College programs as recommended by the administrators. Last year’s Gala on the Green raised more than $30,000 for scholarships and educational programs.
A committee of foundation board members is working on details for the fundraiser. Richard Cooper, Ukiah, and Christy Scollin, Redwood Valley, are this year’s Special Events Committee chairs.
Event and support sponsors are needed for the event, according to Cooper and Scollin. Businesses, organizations and individuals interested in sponsoring the gala are urged to call the foundation office, 707-467-1018.
The event will feature appetizers and dinner by Ross Kilkenny Catering of Ukiah, cocktails and wine, musical entertainment, and live and silent auctions.
Campovida LLC is a “Presenting Sponsor” for the event. Use of Campovida, the setting for the annual event the last three years, is provided by owners Gary Breen and Anna Beuselinck.
“Campovida” translates to “Field of Life,” and company owners Breen and Beuselinck have revitalized the 51 acres that feature a dining pavilion, a farmhouse inn, a field house, a tasting room, 10 acres of organic vineyards, and organic gardens of more than 2,000 varieties of fresh fruit, herbs, vegetables, and ornamental and edible flowers. Guided garden tours will be offered during the hour prior to this year’s Gala festivities.
