The Legacy reception will begin at 6:30 p.m. with cocktails at The Vault Wine Bar in the Hotel Fredonia. The Legacy Dinner will begin at 7 p.m. in the Banita Ballroom of the Fredonia. The dinner will feature a live auction, beginning at 8 p.m. and the Benefit Drawing, where the winning ticket will be drawn. The Benefit Drawing tickets are $100 each and if drawn as the winning ticket, $10,000 will be added to the scholarship of the winner’s choice or to the SFA Alumni Association Endowment Fund.
Tickets for the Legacy dinner are $50 per person, $90 per couple and $350 for a table of eight. Seating is limited; please make your reservation by October 12.
