The athletics department at COC is hosting the “Big Win” annual event on March 16.

The College of the Canyons Athletics Department is hosting its annual ‘Big Win’ benefit event on Thursday, March 16, with all Cougar fans, supporters and alumni invited to an evening of food and fun in support of the college’s sports programs.

Highlighting the event will be the annual ‘Big Win’ raffle in which one lucky person will walk away with a $3,000 grand prize.

Tickets to the event are $100 each and include two BBQ tri-tip dinners catered by Stonefire Grill, four drink tickets and one raffle entry into the ‘Big Win.’

Winner need not be present to win. Net proceeds will benefit the COC Cougar Club, which supports the college’s 16 intercollegiate sports programs. ‘Big Win’ tickets are not tax deductible.

Attendees may also designate 50 percent of the ticket cost to benefit the sport of their choice.

The ‘Big Win’ event will be held in the ‘Cougar Cage’ located in the West P.E. building on the college’s Valencia campus. Event parking will be available in campus lots No. 5 & 6, located off Rockwell Canyon Road.

The evening begins at 6 p.m. with a no host bar followed by dinner at 7 p.m. The $3,000 grand prize raffle drawing will begin at 8 p.m.
