Events
Give Day & Monte Carlo Night
Thursday, May 7, 2026 - Friday, May 8, 2026
Give Day is Linn-Benton Community College’s signature annual giving celebration—now expanded to two days for even greater student impact. On May 7–8, 2026, our campus and community will come together under one unifying theme: All in for hope.
For the first time, Give Day will include both an internal campus celebration and a community fundraising event. The two-day experience is designed to engage every part of LBCC in support of our students.
Day One - Dunk for Hope
A spirited on-campus event featuring activities, connection, and a friendly internal competition with LBCC’s Executive Leadership Team. Faculty and staff can donate toward which leader they want to see "take the plunge," with all funds supporting Give Day’s overall impact.
Day Two - Monte Carlo Night
Our community favorite now becomes part of Give Day. Guests will enjoy a formal dinner prepared by Culinary Arts students, a performance by Music students, a live auction featuring program-driven experiences, and an evening of entertainment—celebrating hope and student success.
48 Hours of Giving
Throughout both days, supporters can choose to give to five areas: LBCC Foundation’s Student Emergency Fund, LBCC Music Program, LBCC Culinary Arts Program, LBCC Athletics, or the LBCC Agricultural Sciences Program.
Each program will receive its own dedicated giving page, sharing stories, videos, and student experiences that demonstrate real impact.
Why Give Day Matters
Give Day strengthens LBCC’s mission by ensuring students have the resources, stability, and support they need to stay enrolled, succeed, and complete their education. Together, as one community, we are All in for Hope—creating opportunities and transforming lives.

Scholarship Appreciation Reception
Thursday, April 23, 2026
The Scholarship Appreciation Reception is a meaningful event celebrating the transformative impact of scholarships on student success and honoring the generosity of our donors. This special evening brings together scholarship recipients, donors, and community members to recognize the power of education in shaping futures. A highlight of the evening is the presentation of the Distinguished Alumni Award, which honors an exceptional LBCC graduate whose achievements and contributions have made a significant impact in their field or community. It’s an inspiring evening of success,gratitude, and community leadership, showcasing the profound difference scholarships make in the lives of students.
LB Night at the Knights
Monday, June 15, 2026
LB Night at the Knights is one of our favorite summer traditions — a relaxed, family-friendly evening at Goss Stadium cheering on the Corvallis Knights and celebrating LBCC. The LBCC Choir kicks things off with the national anthem, President Avery throws out the first pitch, and Rocky makes his rounds in the stands. Thanks to our partnership with the Knights, all LBCC students get in free with a valid ID, which makes it an especially fun night to show off your Roadrunner pride.
Throughout the game, we award scholarships right there between innings — nine in total — which is always a highlight of the night. It’s a great mix of baseball, hot dogs, community, and meaningful moments as alumni, donors, students, staff, and friends come together to support LBCC students.
Student Hope Tree
Mid-November - Early December
The Student Hope Tree is a heartfelt initiative that brings the LBCC community together to support students facing financial challenges during the holiday season. Each "hope tag" on the tree represents a low-income student's requested need, from food and clothing to school supplies, gift cards, and more. Participants can select a tag and fulfill a student's wish, providing tangible support and hope during a critical time of year. This program shines a light on the power of community and generosity, ensuring that every student feels supported and valued as they pursue their educational goals.
