Eastern’s 2012 Sapphire Ball will be a Hollywood-inspired evening among the stars, filled with delicious food and fun entertainment and as glamorous as any black-tie event in Tinseltown.  Guests can walk the paparazzi-filled red carpet, participate in a live auction and dance the night away at the after party.

Eastern established the Sapphire Ball in 2010 to raise funds for student scholarships, as well as honor the college’s alumni, faculty, staff and community supporters. Proceeds from the Sapphire Ball will help students in need afford a high quality education.

During the evening, Eastern will honor five individuals and one organization that have been instrumental to the success of the college. The Choctaw Nation and Representative R.C. Pruett will receive the Community Spirit Award; Dr. Daniel Boatright and  Ms.   Anita Risner will receive the Distinguished Alumnus Award; Mr. Eddie Woods will receive the President’s Excellence in Teaching Award; and Ms. Anne Brooks will receive the J.C. Hunt Award.

Your support of the Sapphire Ball ensures that deserving students are able to continue their dreams of earning a degree. We thank you in advance for your continued support.
