The Fundraising committee would like to thank the IACS community for making IACA’s Comedy Night and Silent Auction such a success. By joining us at the event, making donations, and bidding high and often on Silent Auction Items, we were able to raise over $10,000 to benefit the students of IACS. These funds will be used as seed money for clubs, to provide funding for scholarships and to support the social and academic enrichment of our students. I would like to thank those who helped set up at the event, those who baked for the dessert trays and especially Annie, Paula, Lori, Beverly, Michelle, Val and Jamie who spent the evening working with me to make the event a fun time for all who attended. Thank you, Heather Landis IACA Fundraising Chair
