Scott and Glenda Burns were recognized for their sponsorship of a Night of Wine and Roses.
Portland State Athletics' 2008 Night of Wine And Roses was the most successful single fund-raising event in the history of the program. The Night of Wine and Roses, presented by Burns Brothers, took place Feb. 23 at the Peter W. Stott Center and proceeded to generate more than $200,000 for Viking Athletics' scholarships.
The Night of Wine and roses had 485 registered guests, more than double the attendees in 2007. Both silent and oral auctions took place at the event. Top auction items on the night were a Yacht Cruise on the Willamette River, a suite at Safeco Field for a Seattle Mariners vs. Boston Red Sox game, and a Chateau in Whistler, BC. In addition, the purchase of 41 Jerry Glanville/Mouse Davis autographed Viking football helmets at $200 each netted more than $8,000.
In addition to the Burns Brothers, Portland State Athletics would like to thank the night's other sponsors, including: Shipley & Associates, Stevens Printing, Turner Construction, West Coast Bank, Key Manufacturing, Gresham Sanitary, Arbor Homes, Stewart, Sokol & Gray, Southern Wine & Spirits, Pepsi, Magnacorp and Mt. Hood Beverage.
