CITY, ND – The annual Valley City State University Scholarship Auction with the theme “Road Trip USA: All Roads Lead to VCSU” will be held Friday, April 24, at the Valley City Eagles Club. The Eagles Club will be transformed into famous U.S. tourist stops for the event, and all attendees are encouraged to dress in themed attire.
“The scholarship auction is the single biggest event in terms of generating scholarship dollars that the VCSU Foundation Office works on each year,” said Kim Hesch, assistant director of advancement at VCSU. “Scholarships are vital to VCSU’s success, and all proceeds from the auction go directly to V-500 and Century Club scholarships.” Hesch gave a few details of the annual auction with Steve Urness on our Voice of the Valley show.
Tickets to the auction are $40 each, which includes admission, two beverage tickets, a full buffet dinner and a chance to win a $500 Leevers gift card sponsored by Leevers Foods.
A social hour and silent auction will begin at 5:00 pm. During this time participants are encouraged to check out the large variety of gift baskets and other items available and place silent bids. The buffet dinner will be served from 6–7:30 p.m.
The live auction will kick off at 7 p.m. This is your chance to bid on some great deals while contributing to an outstanding cause. All proceeds from the auction go directly to scholarships. Items up for bid include a six-course authentic Italian dinner for four, golf packages, UND hockey tickets, Minnesota Vikings tickets, tools, car washes, an Amazon Fire HD6 Kids Edition, patio heater, quilts and more.

The Scholarship Auction is a collaborative effort of the VCSU Booster Board and V-500 Board. All proceeds from the event are split 50/50.
Hesch says “our goal is $80,000 this year. It’s a bit of a stretch from past years, but we’re confident that with the support of our community we will be able to reach the goal.”
