About Our Event
The Wallace Community College-Sparks Foundation is thrilled to share some exciting news! After several years of hosting our annual fundraiser virtually, we will be hosting an in-person celebration—and we could not be more excited to connect face-to-face with dedicated supporters like you.
This year’s ticketed event, Investing in Our Future, will take place on Thursday, October 16, 2025, at Fendall Hall in Eufaula, and we are bringing the spirit of the wild right to the heart of our community with the theme: "Wild About Education: A Night of Giving for Sparks.” Through this event, we will shine a spotlight on our wildlife-themed auction items and fellowship.
Our 2024 Virtual fundraiser raised over $20,000 and was used to award more than 25 scholarships. Your generosity has always been a driving force behind our mission. Whether you have been with us since the beginning or joined us virtually in recent years, we look forward to being together in-person and sharing an unforgettable evening together.
To include those who cannot attend in person, we've added a virtual auction component and invite you to participate by bidding online during the event. The online bidding will be open from 6:00 – 8:00 p.m.
All event proceeds will be deposited in the WCC Sparks Circle & Flame Scholarship Fund.
Online Virtual Auction 6:00 – 8:00 p.m. Please go in and create your account by clicking the link in the green bar below this text.
If you already have an account, please go in and update your information so that you will be ready to bid once it auction is live. Once the bidding is over, you will be notified to pay. If you are in person, you may pick up your item. If you are bidding online, you may make arrangements to pick up your item from Amy Rasberry on the Sparks Campus.
