Eat Drink Educate Fundraiser: Providing COA Scholarships in Dare County
April 26, 2019 @ 6:00 pm - 9:00 pm EDT
College of The Albemarle (COA) will host the third scholarship fundraising event to benefit Dare County students on Friday, April 26, 2019 from 6:00-9:00 p.m. The event, Eat•Drink•Educate, will be held at the college’s Roanoke Island Campus, Professional Arts Building, 2015 Highway 64 South, Manteo, NC. The event is sponsored by Southern Bank and The Willey Agency and proceeds will benefit the Dare County Campus General Scholarship Fund.
Guests will be provided the opportunity to see a few of the programs at work, as there will be student demonstrations throughout the event. Highlighted programs include, Jewelry, Pottery, Welding, HVAC, Drone Introduction, Hospitality and Tourism, and Culinary Arts. Artwork in the form of jewelry, sculptures, paintings and pottery, created by COA students, alumni and instructors, will be on display in the gallery throughout the event.
Scholarship funds raised at this event specifically aid COA students who are Dare County residents with a financial need. The goal for this year is to earn $10,000 in proceeds. This amount would provide $1,000 each for ten students in the upcoming academic year. Funds raised from the past two Dare County events allowed for a total of ten scholarships to be awarded. “Quote from Carl Curnutte as committee chair”
