Recap of the Butte College Spring Gala
Author: Heather Schoeppach
 
Spring has sprung, and so has the annual black-tie fundraiser for the Butte College Foundation and Athletics Department. This year's Spring Gala was the largest event of its kind ever held by the Butte College Foundation, with 227 guests in attendance.
The evening began with a special pre-event reception and included dinner, guest speakers, and silent and live auctions. The night's featured guest speakers were Rick Minniefield, motivational speaker and former Butte College Football player and line coach, and scholarship recipient Elizabeth Graham.
The live auction, led by auctioneer Wade Laque, was a huge success! Check out the many exciting items that were won by our guests:
   
The silent auction was also quite successful, with many last-minute bidders taking home an array of items, from gift baskets to day trips.
