South Seattle Community College announced today that the Gifts from the Earth event set for Jan. 25 is sold-out. With a sold-out event, the school will host a capacity crowd of over 300 guests.

The annual fundraiser, which will be held on Jan. 25, has become a signature event for South highlighting the school's Culinary, Hospitality and Wine Programs. In addition to a silent auction, an all-star line-up of Seattle Chefs will prepare a multi-course dinner with the help of South's Culinary students. Guests will also be served South's award-winning NorthWest Wine Academy student-produced wine, along with 16 Washington Wineries.

All of the proceeds from the event benefit the South Seattle Community College's Foundation. The Foundation's mission is to support South students and programs with scholarships, internships, emergency funding, tutoring and the latest program equipment.

Last year's event brought in a record total of nearly $185,000. For the seventh consecutive year, Food Services of America will serve as the Title Sponsor for the event. Additional sponsors include: Boeing, Charlie's Produce, McGranahan Architects, Vigor Industrial, and WSECU.
