The 15th annual Sponsor A+ Scholar Wine and Food Extravaganza at Nicholls State University attracted more than 830 guests, a record attendance, and generated more than $37,000 for Nicholls students with outstanding grades and leadership ability.
Nearly $400,000 has been raised since the fundraiser began in 1996, with more than 200 Nicholls students receiving scholarships as a result.
