B.C. United Outreach, an organization committed to providing opportunities to area youth, held its annual Chucks and Tux Scholarship Gala last month at the Abingdon Ruritan Club, Bena.
The Nov. 16 event was a fundraiser that benefitted three general scholarships for higher learning and one scholarship for the arts for local students.
