Meal of the Year
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 more than $400,000 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, games and fantastic
company—all in support of student success at COCC. We hope to see you there!
In 2026, we were thrilled to be honoring David & Deborah Bourke as the Meal of the Year honorees!
