On Sunday, May 2, Cal Poly Pomona will host its third annual Southern California Tasting & Auction - an adventure of tastes, sights, and sounds. The open-air gathering will take place from 1 to 4 p.m. in the picturesque setting of the W.K. Kellogg Rose Garden and the Aratani Japanese Garden.

Guests will savor a wide selection of wines and enjoy enticing cuisine samples from some of Southern California's most popular restaurants. Music and entertainment will accompany the tasting and auction.

Through March 31, multiple tickets may be purchased for a special price of $75 apiece. Individual tickets are $90 apiece, as are all tickets purchased on or after April 1. Proceeds will benefit Cal Poly Pomona's students with scholarships and academic enrichment opportunities.
