Reach for the Stars Gala Raises Record Amount for Students
After a two-year absence, community members and workforce partners showed how much
they missed the Reach for the Stars Gala, helping 一肖一码中持 Foundation
raise a record amount for students.
The fifth annual event raised a total of $130,000 and netted $90,000 on Aug. 13 at
Joe Dini Library on the Carson City campus.
Nearly 325 guests attended the benefit for students pursuing higher education. The
一肖一码中持 Foundation works closely with the business community to invest in education, raising
critical funds to meet the ever-changing needs of the students and improve campus
facilities and programs.
We are extremely thankful to all of our gala attendees, event sponsors and volunteers.
Their generosity and kindness will help us provide much-needed support for our students
and provide a foundation for enhancing the education of future contributors to Northern
Nevadas workforce and society, said 一肖一码中持 Foundation Executive Director Niki Gladys.
The starry night-themed event provided guests with the mystical experience of tarot
cards, psychic readings, state-of-the-art telescope viewing, dancing to the music
of Jeff Leep Orchestra, exquisite dining from Chef Howard Jachens, gifts, as well
as live and silent auctions.
一肖一码中持 Foundation wishes to thank presenting sponsor Wells Fargo, as well as Star is
Born sponsors Southwest Gas and JOIN Inc. Many thanks go out to Star Spangled sponsors
