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; jazz band Heather & The Swing Set; and Cincinnati Circus performers, featuring a strolling magician, LED performer, and Lollipop Aerialists; along with interactive fundraising experiences.
Guests can enjoy light hors d’oeuvres by Eloquence Catering Services, with crafted cocktails and alcohol-free mocktails available for purchase, mixed by Craft Event Bar. Tickets are $75 per guest. All proceeds benefit The Edison Foundation and support its mission to advance Edison State Community College.
