2026 Black Tie & Blue Jeans Raises More Than $25,000 for BFCC Student Scholarships
Blackfeet Community College’s Black Tie & Blue Jeans Student Scholarship Fundraiser brought students, supporters, community members, and friends of the college together for an evening of dinner, music, auctions, raffles, and celebration.
Held September 12 at East Glacier Park Lodge, the event had a great turnout and exceeded the $20,000 fundraising goal, raising more than $25,000 through the Black Tie & Blue Jeans event and Dream Vacation Raffle.
Guests enjoyed a plated dinner with a choice of prime rib or herb garlic chicken, followed by entertainment from the Clint Reimann Band. The evening also featured silent auctions and raffles with approximately 60 donated items, thanks to the generosity of businesses, organizations, individuals, and community supporters.
One of the evening’s highlights was the drawing for the BFCC Dream Vacation Raffle. Tiffany Sellars and Melisa Trombley were the winners of the drawing and will be traveling to Kauai, Hawaii for their dream vacation.
The funds raised through the event will support student scholarships and services during the 2026–2027 academic year. This includes scholarships for non-STEM majors, emergency aid, paid internships, and career-supportive services for graduates.
The success of Black Tie & Blue Jeans was made possible through the generosity and support of everyone who purchased tickets, donated auction and raffle items, sponsored the event, volunteered, or contributed in other ways.
BFCC extends a heartfelt thank you to all of our supporters for helping make this year's fundraiser a success.Because of the community’s generosity, more than $25,000 will help provide scholarships and support services that assist BFCC students in reaching their educational and career goals.
