SUNY Niagara Distinguished Student Scholarship Recipient, Evan O’Connor, shows off the Josh Allen signed football which will be auctioned off at the SUNY Niagara Foundation’s Scholarship Gala.
The SUNY Niagara Foundation Scholarship Gala will return to an in-person event on October 22 at the Niagara Falls Culinary Institute. To celebrate the College’s 60 Anniversary, this year’s fundraiser will be celebrated as a diamond anniversary themed gala. Organizers have planned a high-end auction full of unique items and priceless experiences to raise scholarship funds for students at SUNY Niagara.
Top auction items include a signed Josh Allen Buffalo Bills football; dinner for ten at Chef’s Restaurant in the company of five Buffalo Sabres alumni; a Buffalo Bison’s suite with food and beverages; four tickets to a Buffalo Bills game; two tickets to a Toronto Raptors versus the Atlanta Hawks in Toronto; a Firth Jewelers’ 0.61 carat diamond; and even a unique dinner experience at Savor Restaurant’s chef’s table with big screen actor, William Fichtner. His success has led him to appear in many television series and blockbuster movies including: Prison Break, Mom, Armageddon, The Perfect Storm, Pearl Harbor, Black Hawk Down, The Longest Yard, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, and Independence Day: Resurgence.
Other auction items include private dinners and wine pairings at beloved restaurants such as Ilio DiPaolo’s, Hutch’s, Russell’s, and Webster’s Bistro. Adventure seekers will appreciate auction items featuring local experiences such as: passes for the ropes course, Ferris wheel, and wall climbing with food and beverages included at Buffalo RiverWorks; a generous Batavia Downs package; Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra tickets; and Niagara Falls State Park passes to Cave of the Winds, Maid of the Mist, the trolley, and a Top of the Falls restaurant credit.
The evening will include an unforgettable meal prepared by up-and-coming chefs within the Niagara Falls Culinary Institute, tours of the European-inspired kitchens and laboratories, access to the auction and raffles, and the chance to celebrate the dedicated students of SUNY Niagara.
Tickets to the SUNY Niagara Foundation Scholarship Gala are $125 per person. Sponsorship opportunities, ticket sales, and additional information can be found online at https://www.niagaracc.suny.edu/foundation/gala.
