Sip, Savor, Support

An evening of food, wine, beer, and auctions to benefit the Sacramento State Student Emergency Fund.

Who We Are:
East Sacramento Womens Club (ESWC) is dedicated to active participation in service and charitable projects throughout the Sacramento area and beyond. Our members partner with existing organizations to help meet their on-going or seasonal volunteer and collection needs. Our philosophy is that by planning and working collectively, we are able to stay motivated, make a bigger impact, and forge and strengthen our community ties in positive and meaningful ways.

East Sacramento Women's Club (ESWC) is an affiliate of the General Federation of Women's Clubs (GFWC), an international women's organization dedicated to community improvement by enhancing the lives of others through volunteer service. The ESWC is a 501(c)3 charitable organization.

Who We're Supporting:
The Student Emergency Fund (SEF) is administered through the Office of Student Affairs at CSU Sacramento and serves to assist students who experience a financial emergency or unanticipated expenses causing short-term financial hardship that requires immediate attention to keep a student in college.

The program is designated to assist those students who cannot reasonably resolve their financial difficulty through scholarships, loans or other Financial Aid awards. The SEF awards are grants that reimburse students for actual expenses. The awards are not loans and do not need to be repaid. The maximum award is $1500, per student, per academic year.

The funds are not intended for tuition or fees, or standard living expenses. They are limited, non-state dollars acquired through grants, donations and fundraising -- a resource of last resort.

What We're Doing:
Wine, beer and tasty treats! Ticket price includes admission and pairing stations. Silent auction items will be available to raise additional funds for the SEF.
