The Americana Awards event is the college's largest fundraiser. Proceeds from the black-tie recommended event support scholarships, the "Mini Grants" program and other college initiatives that wouldn't otherwise be funded.  The 34th Annual Americana Awards took place on Saturday, February 28, 2009 at the Disneyland Hotel Grand Ballroom.  The Americana Awards salute citizens of the year from the eight cities that form Cypress College's primary service area. In addition, Americana honors a man and woman of the year.
