UKIAH – “Gala on the Green,” Mendocino College Foundation’s annual fundraiser to benefit Mendocino College students and programs, is scheduled for Saturday, June 23, at Campovida, 13601 Old River Road, Hopland.

Foundation board members working on details of the event are seeking sponsors.

The gala festivities include dinner, wine, auctions and music.

The event begins at 5:30 p.m., and will be preceded by an optional tour of the Campovida gardens between 4:30 p.m. and 5:30 p.m.

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 $60,000 for scholarships and educational programs.

Event and support sponsors are needed for the event, according to organizers.

Sponsorships are available at various levels. Sponsors receive tables to the event, name listings in programs and media releases, and mentions during the evening’s announcements, depending on levels of sponsorship.
