The College of the Canyons Alumni & Friends is having a homecoming barbecue on Sept. 20 to honor the year's Outstanding COC Alumnus, Kevin Holmes, former chair of the foundation board of directors, and the Outstanding Friend, Lundgren Management, a construction management company, for its many contributions to the college, specifically for its vital role in the opening of the Canyon Country Campus.
Lundgren Management is also overseeing the construction of the college's 110,000-square-foot University Center.
"This event is a special time set aside each year to thank some very important people," said Michele Edmonson, assistant director of development of the college's foundation. "Kevin Holmes and Lundgren Management were selected because of their positive influence on the college and its students. They are very deserving of this award."
The barbecue will be held in the Cougar Den at Cougar Stadium at 4:30 p.m., and will be followed by the college's homecoming football game against Los Angeles Valley College at 7 p.m.
The barbecue - provided by the Santa Clarita Elks Lodge - will also include dessert and beverages. A no-host bar will help raise funds for college scholarships.
Alumni and Friends member adult tickets are $15 and $10 for children and for non-members. Regular adult tickets are $20 and $12 for children. Tickets will also allow entrance to the game.
All proceeds will support student and alumni programs.
