In support.
For 29 years, An Evening at Edison State has created opportunities for students through scholarships, emergency assistance, employee grants, capital improvements, and other initiatives that support student success.
An Evening at Edison State is an annual fundraising event organized by The Edison Foundation. Proceeds from the event support Edison State Community College in achieving its educational and community service goals. Funds raised help support scholarships, student emergency assistance, employee grants, capital improvements, and more.
This year, An Evening at Edison State invites guests to step back in time for Speakeasy for a Cause, an evening inspired by the glamour, mystery, and excitement of the Roaring Twenties.
The event will be held on Thursday, November 5, 2026, from 7–9 p.m. in the North Hall Pavilion and Robinson Theater at the Edison State Piqua Campus. Guests are encouraged to embrace Roaring Twenties glamour, with formal, black-tie optional attire.
Throughout the evening, guests will enjoy live entertainment featuring pianist David Wion, Heather & The Swing Set, a strolling magician, an LED performer, and lollipop aerialists. Fundraising games will also be available throughout the event.
Guests can enjoy light hors d’oeuvres, with a cash bar available throughout the evening. Tickets are $75 per guest and $50 for Edison State employees and retirees. All proceeds benefit The Edison Foundation and support its mission to advance Edison State Community College.
