Community Gathers at 海角社区to Celebrate 90th Anniversary
More than 300 supporters of the 海角社区 arrived at a red carpet on June 16 to celebrate the College鈥檚 90th Anniversary.
The Central Quad at the Liberal Arts Campus was transformed into a swanky gala for attendees. While dressed in 1920s-inspired clothing, many guests bid on silent auction items that were comprised of unique adventures that could only be experienced in Long Beach or with 海角社区.
The 海角社区Foundation hosted the event in thanks to Title Sponsor, Don Temple Family Charitable Foundation and Don Temple Storage, and sponsors Cordoba Corporation, LBS Financial Credit Union, F & M Bank, Port of Long Beach, Jean and Jerry Green and P2S.
At the dinner, Dr. Beverly O鈥橬eill, 海角社区Superintendent-President Emerita, was honored for her service to the College, seamless education and to the City of Long Beach.
More than $200,000 was raised in the evening, which also included a Live Ask auction that garnered $50,000 for the Long Beach College Promise. The Long Beach College Promise scholarships will provide a tuition-free first year at 海角社区for local high school graduates.
