BC Foundation’s Scholarship Soirée rescheduled to Jan. 12

The Brazosport College Foundation will host its biennial Scholarship Soirée on Friday, January 12, at the Dow Academic Center at Brazosport College. The Soirée was originally scheduled for September 8, but was postponed due to Hurricane Harvey.

The theme for the event, is “Stars Over Texas Soirée,” and will honor the invaluable friendships that have been fundamental in the success of Brazosport College for almost 50 years.

The Dow Chemical Company is underwriting the event, with Earl and Zee Shipp as the honorary chairs. Soirée guests will experience and evening that will make Texas Proud — with live music by the band, Duck Soup, fine dining, Texas beer, wine, a Texas Two-Step Auction featuring a live and silent auction, and plenty of dancing.

Most importantly, however, is that all money raised at this event will be used to fund student scholarships. The need for scholarships continues to grow as enrollment at Brazosport College reaches more students each year.
