Selling out months in advance, A Night in the Valley supports scholarships and other critical needs of the college. More than 600 guests are treated to a three-course, wine-paired dinner prepared and served by Culinary Institute of Charleston students and faculty.
Many attendees come back year after year for this highly anticipated event, making it a great opportunity to network with successful and philanthropic supporters of the college. But more than that, they come because they know the impact TTC makes on the community, providing high-quality education at an affordable price.
For some, it is an opportunity to come back to where it all started. Anthony Jackson, CEO of Roper St. Francis Hospitals, graduated from the Radiologic Technology program at TTC in 1990.
“This is where I found my confidence. This is where I found my voice,” says Jackson, who serves on the TTC Foundation Board of Trustees, “My time at TTC led to the successful career path that I’ve taken.”

"Just about everyone in this room that owns a business employs at least one TTC graduate," said Crawford, "We are everywhere."
Another alumnus in attendance, Joseph Powe, was featured in a video that was shown at the event. Powe received a TTC Foundation scholarship and graduated from the college in 2013. He now works at MUSC as a Supervisor in Telepathology Information Solutions.
“TTC instructors genuinely care for the students,” says Powe. “It’s not just, ‘what is your student ID?’ It’s ‘how can I help you be successful in the future and your career.’”
Then there were those guests who may not have attended TTC but have taken classes at a 2-year technical or community college. Among them are three well-known Lowcountry business leaders, Anita Zucker, CEO of InterTech Group, Nancy Snowden, President of NCGS and Bill Hall, Owner of Hall Management Group. During the live auction, all three proudly announced that they, too, had attended community colleges, and that had a profound effect on their success.
“I was fortunate to have been married to a wonderful and brilliant man and because of our success, I am able to make an impact in our community,” said Zucker. “Many of you will be surprised to know that I attended a community college.”
A Night in the Valley raised more than $500,000 for students and future students through sponsorships, ticket sales, auction donation, auction purchases and outright donations.
