The Have a Heart for Students Dinner & Auction is an annual fundraising event directly benefiting student scholarships at California State University, Monterey Bay. Originally called the "Student Success Auction," Have A Heart began in 1998 as the idea of then-financial aid director Bonnie Brown, who saw a need to create student scholarships at CSUMB. The fundraiser started as an intimate breakfast in a private home, grew to a wine tasting event with a small ticket price, and is now a four-course seated meal with a silent and live auction, including items and sponsorships from the finest Monterey and Salinas community members.
Since its conception in 1997, the Have A Heart for Students Dinner & Auction has raised more than $1 million! And we want to say THANK YOU, because it is the generosity of our community members that got us here.
