the Celebration of Giving, a family-style Thanksgiving meal.  It has grown in the past decade, from a lunch of 80 people into a banquet, with nearly 200 people attending.

The relationships formed between scholarship donors and recipients are powerful and touching, and this Banquet gives them the opportunity to establish those connections.  A meaningful event, the Celebration of Giving was made even more significant last year as it coincided with Western’s Heritage to Horizon to celebrate WSC’s 100th birthday.
