Eugenio María de Hostos Community College’s most important fundraiser of the year,” The Art of Giving Gala,” will be held on Friday, May 2. The funds raised by this event support student scholarships and the educational mission of the college. But you can help jumpstart our campaign by bidding on vacations, rare artwork, tickets to shows and sporting events, and so much more!

Part of The City University of New York and located in the South Bronx, Hostos provides our mainly minority student body a chance to follow their dreams.

You will be bidding with gala attendees who will be at Glen Island Harbour Club in New Rochelle, NY, the night of our event. This auction is a great way for us to grow our Hostos family, so we urge you to participate.

You can also show your support by clicking on the "Donate Items" button to contribute to our catalog. Your participation is an invaluable part of our fundraising efforts. By donating an item or service directly online, you'll be helping to raise money for our college, and you'll receive a mention on our site that can link back to your own web page.

Hostos takes pride in its historical role in educating students from diverse ethnic, racial, cultural and linguistic backgrounds, particularly Hispanics and African Americans. An integral part of fulfilling its mission is to provide transitional language instruction for all English-as-a-Second-Language learners, along with Spanish/English bilingual education offerings to foster a multicultural environment for all students. Hostos Community College, in addition to offering degree programs, is determined to be a resource to the South Bronx and other communities served by the college by providing continuing education, cultural events, and expertise for the further development of the communities it serves.
