Fredonia College Foundation Events
Fredonia College Foundation will host an extraordinary event - the Black Tie and Bourbon Experience on Saturday, June 6, 2020. We will gather for an unforgettable evening of finely crafted bourbon for tasting along with cocktails, fine cuisine, musical entertainment and a silent auction of unique packaged and individual items to raise funds for priority needs of the Nurturing Innovation Campaign for Fredonia.
This is an exciting time for Fredonia. We are currently in the university's largest campaign to date, and are well on the way toward exceeding our goal of $20 million to support scholarships, experiential learning for students, innovation in teaching and learning, interactive learning spaces, and other priority needs of the university.
You can help Fredonia meet the priority needs of the Nurturing Innovation Campaign and continue to provide a unique educational experience for students and assist with supporting programming that is enjoyed by students, alumni, and the local and regional community.
Please join us by attending or sponsoring this exciting Black Tie and Bourbon Experience.
