Attendees will enjoy dinner and family games while helping college dreams become reality at the nonprofit’s primary annual fundraiser.
“We wanted this event to be enjoyable for all ages,” Executive Director Suzanne Wegmiller explained. “Our mission is serious, but we can also have fun raising these much-needed funds.”
Since 2015, Crosby Scholars has provided grants, scholarships and programs for students. Offerings include campus tours, career exploration sessions, academic workshops and more. Over 1,800 Iredell County public school students are current members. More than 1,400 previous participants have graduated from Crosby Scholars.
Game On: A Family Game Night takes place January 25 at the Crawford Farm in Statesville. Activities will include BINGO, Head and Tails, Minute-To-Win-It games, and children’s games.

Sponsorship packages from $100 to $5,000 are also available. Sponsorships show students and their families that the community cares. Each donation is an investment in the future, providing educational opportunities for Iredell County students.
Sponsorships support grants, scholarships and programming needs. That includes Last Dollar Grants for Crosby Scholars enrolled in higher education.
