FUNDRAISING EVENTS
FORKS & CORKS
|
This annual fundraiser showcases the culinary arts in a casual, festive environment. The past two years have approached maximum capacity, drawing attendees from across the state. Every August, local chefs compete head-to-head as attendees partake of their culinary creations. Fall 2019 provided the opportunity to highlight winners from our CDFA2019 Singer/Songwriter Competition, as well as a silent art auction and sale of ceramics donated by the ceramics faculty at the MSU Department of Arts. This event raised approximately $10,000 for art and art education programs in Oktibbeha County.

ANNUAL DRIVE & MEETING

Each summer, SAAC hosts its Annual Drive & Meeting to report to the public on past activities, while also connecting with existing and recruiting new donors. In 2020, we held our first virtual drive, where we re-elected returning board members and added two new members, adopted new bylaws, and shared plans for the year ahead.
Join us on June 24, 2021, at 6 pm under the lights at 106 Lafayette at the old Holli's Sweet Tooth location for our 2021 Annual Drive & Meeting!
Donors of $5 or more under the current bylaws are eligible to vote on business matters, including election of board members. Donors who have not renewed since July 1, 2020, can renew by donate via check or through the SAAC website. This event will be catered by The Grill. Music from Shark and Maim and Sugar High. |
