Friends of Tri-State University can show their support for TSU students by attending the fifth annual Black and White Scholarship Gala on Feb. 16 in Ketner Sports Center beginning at 6 p.m. All proceeds will channel into the TSU Scholarship Fund to provide educational funding for deserving students.

The formal event traditionally brings together alumni and friends in their black-and-white best to catch up on the news while enjoying a variety of activities and entertainment geared for an exciting evening. Dinner, a wine tasting event provided by Biaggi’s Ristaurante Italiano of Fort Wayne, dancing to music by the Hillsdale College Contemporary Jazz Band, and live and silent auctions for jewelry, vacation getaways, art, sports memorabilia, personal services and many other valuable items and packages will keep the atmosphere lively.

Donations are $100 per couple or $50 per person. Sponsorships at the Benefactor Level of $1,000 or more, the Distinguished Donor Level of $500, or the Sponsor Level of $250 are also available. Contact Julie Wert at 260.665.4316 or wertj@tristate.edu or Nancy Roberts at 260.665.4114 with questions or to RSVP by Feb. 8.
