Save the Date!
Our Third Annual Back-To-School Scholarship Gala and Silent Auction is planned for Thursday, October 28th at the South Coast Winery in Santa Ana next to South Coast Plaza. Please join us for a silent auction raising money for our scholarship program and to present this year’s scholarship winners with their awards.

This year our incredible silent auction items include: hotel stays at the Omni Hotel in San Diego, the Citizen Hotel in Sacramento, the Cliffs Resort in Pismo Beach, and a weekend stay in a beautiful Palm Desert private home with tickets to The Living Desert. As always, beautiful gift baskets from Origins, Kiehls, Hi-Times, and Trader Joes valued between $100 and $250 will be offered.

Last year more than $2000 was raised for the OCAEP Scholarship Program and this year our goal is to raise over $3000. Tickets will go on sale for this fabulous event in September – so save the date!

If you are interested in donating a silent auction item or volunteering for this event, please contact Nicole Williams at NWilliams@icfi.com.
