The ECC Foundation hosts annual events to celebrate and support our work. Join us at our signature events, where funds benefit our Resources for Excellence Annual Fund. Please save the dates and plan to attend our next event!

Event Sponsorship Opportunities

Did you know that all Foundation Scholarships are funded by the generosity of donors (both individuals and companies) throughout the year? Many of these donations come through two major events that the ECC Foundation sponsors each year – The ECC Foundation Golf Classic and the Founder’s Day Brunch – There’s No Place Like ECC - a Celebration of Brains, Heart and Courage (formerly the Gala). We are so excited to join forces this year and offer you the opportunity to support ECC students through your sponsorship of the Golf Classic, the Founder’s Day Brunch or both.

To sponsor the Golf Classic and/or Founder’s Day Brunch, complete the online sponsorship form or if you prefer to mail a check, please print and return the Golf and Founder's Day sponsorship form. Sponsorship opportunities for both Golf and the Founder’s Day Brunch along with the benefits that accompany each sponsorship level can be found here.
