Welcome!

I am pleased to welcome you to the 2012 Atlantic Cape Community College Restaurant Gala and invite you to “Dine Like Royalty” tonight. This annual event is the region’s premier black-tie fundraising event, and is celebrating its 29th anniversary this evening. Since its inception, the Gala has raised more than $2.5 million for scholarships at Atlantic Cape Community College and its Academy of Culinary Arts.

As the community’s college, Atlantic Cape is committed to excellence. That commitment extends to my shared vision for the college of fulfilling our mission by focusing on one main goal — fostering student learning. This goal is achieved through three main strategies: expanding access to our college, enhancing our learning environment, and providing superior programs and services.

The college recently launched its first-ever major gifts campaign, “Create Opportunity: The Capital & Scholarship Campaign.” The campaign’s $2.5 million goal will provide funding to expand the Atlantic Cape Foundation’s current endowment, thus increasing the number of scholarships provided to area students. This campaign will enable Atlantic Cape to continue to fulfill its legacy of truly serving as the community’s college.

I commend you, as donors, for your generosity and thank you for your ongoing support of our vision that “Opportunity Starts Here.” Indeed, your continued generosity will make an education more affordable and provide opportunity for our students well into the future. The Atlantic Cape Foundation demonstrates its continued commitment to our students and this special event serves as the cornerstone of that effort.

Thank you and enjoy the evening!

Sincerely,

Dr. Peter L. MoraPresident

Dear Friends:

As chairpersons of the region’s premier scholarship fundraising event, and on behalf of the Gala Steering Committee, the Atlantic Cape Community College Foundation and the Academy of Culinary Arts, we welcome you to the 29th Annual Atlantic Cape Restaurant Gala.

Tonight we invite you to “Dine Like Royalty.” More than 50 of the region’s most outstanding restaurants have come together to prepare exciting and innovative dishes for you to enjoy. Proceeds support scholarships for students attending the Academy of Culinary Arts at Atlantic Cape Community College and help support Foundation operations.

To all of our generous sponsors, thank you for your support and commitment to educating our future leaders in the culinary industry. Your contributions to this event afford culinary students the opportunity to continue their education, which will someday allow them to make their mark in the restaurant industry.

Along with our appreciation for your support, we hope you eat and drink like kings and queens as we celebrate food and friends. To those who participated in the 50/50 raffle and Tiffany & Company “Mystery Blue Box,” may luck be with you.

With sincere appreciation to all,
