Join us at the 47th annual Meal of the Year!

April 11, 2026
5:30pm
COCC Bend Campus - Mazama Gym
Black-Tie Optional 

The Meal of the Year is more than just a celebration; it’s a chance to make a meaningful impact on the lives of COCC students.
This event raises essential funds for scholarships,
helping students pursue their dreams and open doors to endless opportunities.

Each year, Meal of the Year raises $450,000 for COCC scholarships.
What makes this event even more special is that many of the volunteers are scholarship recipients themselves,
and the delicious 4-course meal is expertly prepared and served by COCC's Cascade Culinary Institute staff and students.

For 47 years, we’ve come together for an unforgettable evening filled with exceptional food, live auction, refreshing drinks, engaging conversation and games, and fantastic company—all in support of student success at COCC.

We are thrilled to be honoring our 2026 Meal of the Year Honorees David & Deborah Bourke 

We look forward to seeing you there!
