You're Invited to Spring Fling on March 28

You're invited! The Friends of Chabot is excited to host our inaugural Alumni & Friends Spring Fling Fundraiser & Social the evening of March 28, 2024 to raise funds in support of Chabot College Alumni programs. This is a more casual companion event to our annual Fall Gala fundraiser, which raised over $70,000 this past fall for student scholarships.

The Alumni & Friends Spring Fling is specifically designed for our growing Chabot Alumni community. The social will feature networking, hors d'oeuvres, entertainment, community building, and raffle prizes.

Support the Alumni & Friends Spring Fling by purchasing tickets or donating a raffle item. Sponsorship opportunities will be shared in a future newsletter.

Donate a Raffle Item

Donate a raffle item, and we’ll put a basket together for you that features your company. We’ll even pick up the item(s)! Donations will be accepted until March 14, 2024. 

Contact friendsofchabot@chabotcollege.edu to donate.
