17th Annual Sterling Silver

The Sterling Silver Gala is the crown jewel of Bakersfield College Foundation events, celebrating the individuals and companies whose generosity makes an innovative and meaningful college education possible for Kern County students. This special evening brings “all the sparkle” and features a delicious meal, prepared by BC’s chefs and culinary students, paired with curated wines to bring out the best flavor possible.

This multi-course dining experience and awards ceremony is always a sellout, bringing together community leaders, philanthropists, and supporters of Bakersfield College. The Sterling Silver Gala is held in the Renegade Event Center atop the new Campus Center building. A portion of proceeds benefit the Sterling Silver and the Culinary Arts Scholarships.

This year’s honorees include:
