Scholarship Luncheon is huge success

NOVEMBER 2008 - The Business Education Alliance (BEA) has been busy with the completion of very successful events the past couple of months including the Semi-Annual Outback Steakhouse Scholarship Luncheon.

On October 15^th, Outback Steakhouse in partnership with the Business Education Alliance, held the 6^th Semi-Annual Outback Scholarship Luncheon, a fundraiser that provides scholarships to five graduating seniors in San Joaquin County . The Outback Steakhouse served a superb lunch of steak, chicken or pasta, to a packed house of over 100 guests, raising a total of $1,515 toward the scholarships.

If you missed your chance to attend the Outback Steakhouse Scholarship Luncheon this time around, we will hold our next luncheon next year in April.

Please mark your calendars and support this fundraiser as we try to surpass last year’s amount. Toward the end of the school year, we will announce the recipient names and present them with a check at our May Business Education Alliance Meeting.

Outback Steakhouse has given so much to the Stockton community since their arrival in 1998. They have been involved with the United Way, Stockton Conference & Visitor’s Bureau, American Cancer Society and the BEA to name a few. Outback current employees constantly volunteer their time to various community events. We would like to send a big THANK YOU to Outback Steakhouse for their continued support and contribution to the BEA program.
