About Americana

The Americana Awards event is the college's largest fundraiser. Proceeds from the black-tie recommended event support scholarships, the "Mini Grants" program and other college initiatives that wouldn't otherwise be funded.

The event features both live and silent auctions.

There are three ways to support Americana:

• Attend the event — Americana is one of the premier events in the North Orange County area.
• Purchase an opportunity drawing ticket — Just 100 tickets are available, and the winner (who need not attend the event or be present) will receive $3,000 in cash.
• Contribute an item to the silent auction — A silent auction is held during the reception, and the Foundation is seeking some fun items.

For more information about the Americana Awards, please send an e-mail or call the Cypress College Foundation office at (714) 484-7126.
