GCSC Foundation Announces “Elemental: An Evening of Earth, Water, Air & Fire” – Celebrating the forces that shape student success

PANAMA CITY, FL – Mark your calendars for a night of elegance, inspiration, and impact. On Friday, September 26, the Gulf Coast State College Foundation will host its highly anticipated annual dinner, Elemental: An Evening of Earth, Water, Air & Fire, at the sophisticated Hotel Indigo in Panama City. This reimagined event promises to celebrate the foundational forces that shape not only the natural world—but also the future of our students.

With a theme inspired by the elemental forces of nature, Elemental will be more than just a dinner—it will be a transformative experience. The evening will include a high-end silent auction, immersive ambiance, and powerful storytelling centered around the vital role education plays in building a stronger, more vibrant community.

The Foundation is proud to announce Bill Cramer Chevrolet GMC as the Title Sponsor of this year’s event. A longtime supporter of education and community growth, Bill Cramer Chevrolet GMC’s partnership reinforces the vital connection between industry leadership and student success. Learn more about their impact at www.billcramerchevrolet.com.

This year, the Foundation is also honored to partner with the St. Joe Company, one of our most generous and forward-thinking supporters, whose leadership and commitment to the region continues to fuel opportunity and hope.

Proceeds from Elemental will go directly to support the mission of the Gulf Coast State College Foundation—increasing access to higher education and expanding opportunities for students across Bay, Gulf, and Franklin counties. Every scholarship awarded is a step toward building a more talented workforce, a more innovative community, and a better quality of life for all.

“We want to capture and reflect the momentum that is taking force in our communities and college across Bay, Gulf, and Franklin counties,” said Ashlin Glatthar, Foundation Director. “From the revitalization of our downtown to the rebuild of Tyndall AFB and the incredible work of the Bay EDA to recruit industry, it’s time to showcase that innovative spirit this evening as we equip students to be a part of this exciting chapter in our region.”

The Foundation is currently seeking sponsors who want to be part of this landmark occasion and help us create lasting change. Sponsorship opportunities are now available online.
