Support Student Dreams at the 2025 Opportunities for Education Scholarship Fundraising Event

Join us at 5:30 p.m. Thursday, Sept. 18 for an evening of community, cuisine and celebration at the 2025 Opportunities for Education (OFE) Scholarship Fundraising Event at Kalamazoo Valley Community College's Food Innovation Center, located at 224 E. Crosstown Parkway in downtown Kalamazoo.

This annual gathering promises an unforgettable night under a big tent where friendship, food and philanthropy come together to support students.

Some of the region's most popular restaurants will be featured along with student and faculty chefs from the college's culinary and brewing programs. Guests will enjoy a walk-around tasting where they can sample signature dishes plus beer, wine and other beverages. Tours among the vegetables, flowers and herbs growing in the Food Innovation Center's greenhouse will also be available.

Proceeds from the OFE event directly benefit the Kalamazoo Valley Community College's Foundation scholarship fund, helping determined and resilient students achieve their educational goals and bring fresh energy to our region. Your support makes a meaningful difference.
