Join Northampton Community College at their Annual Food and Wine Gala

Get ready for an unforgettable evening of flavor, philanthropy, and celebration—the annual Northampton Community College Food and Wine Gala returns on Friday, May 30, 2025!

Featuring delicious wine and gourmet cuisine, this signature event honors the generosity of donors whose support empowers NCC students to achieve their dreams.


Every dollar raised during the Gala directly funds student scholarships, helping to remove financial barriers to a high-quality education. With students from diverse backgrounds and life experiences, NCC relies on donor support to ensure education is accessible. To date, this impactful event has raised over two million dollars for scholarships, opening doors to education and allowing students to focus on their studies and flourish in the classroom.


While attendees will hear the direct impact of scholarships throughout the night, they will also enjoy an elegant evening complete with a cocktail hour, live music, an open bar, and a live auction. A three-course dinner will be artfully paired with fine wines selected by Master of Wine Chris Cree—one of only 424 individuals worldwide to hold this prestigious title—making this tasting a truly extraordinary experience.


ASR Media’s Ashley Russo will serve as Master of Ceremonies, guiding the evening’s program and sharing powerful stories that illustrate the far-reaching impact of donor generosity.


As NCC’s largest fundraising event of the year, the Food and Wine Gala is a testament to what’s possible when a community comes together in support of education. Special thanks go to the sponsors whose ongoing contributions help make this night—and NCC students’ futures—brighter.


Save the date for May 30, and help change lives—one scholarship at a time. Learn more and get your tickets today at northampton.edu/foodandwine.
