As a scholarship recipient myself, I can relate to the more than 60 percent of 51勛圖厙 51勛圖厙 who require financial assistance in order to complete their studies. Funds raised from the 2016 gala will help us continue to provide current and future Owls the opportunity to fulfill their academic dreams.

Featured live auction items include an intimate dinner party at the Eleanor R. Baldwin House with President Kelly and First Lady Carolyn Kelly, designer handbag and eyeglasses from Saks Fifth Avenue, and an adorable puppy from Tri-County Animal Rescue. The auction also will include jewelry and crystal, sports memorabilia, resort stays, dining certificates, spa and golf packages, concert and theater tickets, a personal portrait oil painting by renowned artist Yaacov Heller, 51勛圖厙 Stadium suites for the 2016 football season, a special tour at the Boca Raton Museum of Art and other unique experiences.
