College of the Redwoods will host a Dinner and Auction to benefit CR’s Intercollegiate Athletics Program on August 11, from 5:00 to 9:00pm in the CR Gymnasium.

Tickets are on sale at $85 for an individual, $640 for a table of eight, and $750 for a table of ten. The CR Foundation and CR Athletics are asking for donations of both silent and live auction items/packages. A benefits package is available to donors.

This is CR’s largest fundraising event and is usually attended by more than 500 community members. Traditionally this event has been held annually, but the last event was held in 2019 due to COIVD restrictions. 

This year CR will be honoring their 2006 Softball Team – the first CR team sport to make it to the Final 8 State Championships since the merger of the small school/large school format. The event will also be honoring the 50th anniversary of Title IX.

“We are extremely excited for the in-person return of the CR Dinner & Auction which benefits our intercollegiate athletic programs,” said Bob Brown, Director of Athletics, Kinesiology, Health and Physical Education. “Over the years. This event has been a critical revenue boost to the operations of all the athletic teams and has directly benefitted our student-athletes’ academic and athletic experience. We are truly grateful for all the continued community support and firmly believe this support has played an integral role in our recent successes, including three Golden Valley Conference Championships in Women’s Cross Country, Men’s Basketball and Women’s Track & Field this year. We look forward to seeing all of you who can attend this event on August 11th and sincerely thank you again for your continued support!”
