Taste of Gold

Taste of Gold, the LTCC Foundation's annual fundraiser in support of students and academic programs, takes place Saturday, August 5 from 6pm-8pm. Enjoy an evening under the pines on our beautiful mountain campus, with award-winning California wines and a generous sampling of tasty treats from Lake Tahoe area restaurants and eateries. Proceeds from this event directly help students by supporting programs including the Lake Tahoe College Promise (provides free tuition for up to 3 years), Student Success Grants, and the emergency textbook fund. These programs support bright, hard-working students who can reach their full potential, with your support!
The 2023 Taste of Gold event will be held by the Coyote Legacy Plaza, located near the PE Building on LTCC's campus, with comfortable seating and plenty of shade.

The annual fundraiser was held in a new location on the Community Play Fields, adjacent to LTCC's campus. Attendees enjoyed California wines, beers from local breweries and culinary creations from local restaurants. The Henry Undercover Band with lead vocalist Whitney Myer, a 2021 Voice contestant, was a crowd pleaser and stayed for an encore set!
