The Butte College Spring Gala will be held Saturday, March 2, 2024, at the Sierra Nevada Big Room, 1075 E. 20th Street in Chico. The Spring Gala is the Butte College Foundation’s major annual fundraising event and honors outstanding alumni of the year. Last year's honorees were Butte County supervisor and long-time ag business leader Tod Kimmelshue and Rigoberto Sanchez, punter for the Indianapolis Colts. We are looking forward to unveiling this year's honorees!  The fun evening includes a dinner, a silent auction, dessert auction, and live auction. The 2024 Spring Gala is sold out!
