The oldest community college in the Los Rios District and the Sacramento region turned 100 years old last year. To celebrate its centennial, City College will hold a gala March 25 at the Sheraton Grand Sacramento Hotel downtown.

The event promises a feast, drinks, music and theater. Presentations will include vignettes from Shakespeare, “The Great Gatsby” and “Music Man”, an original vaudeville play and performances by the Sacramento City Choir and the City Jazz Band. There will also be a live auction.

“The purpose of the event is to celebrate the past, acknowledge our supporters and raise money for the students,” says Dan McCarty, the interim director of College Advancement, who took the lead on organizing the gala.

Though tickets sold out two weeks early, proceeds will benefit students by providing funding support to address issues that students often encounter while attending classes at City College.

“Proceeds will go to students who are hungry, who need temporary housing and those who can’t afford books,” says McCarty.
