Western Nevada College Foundation proudly announces the return of Reach for the Stars — the college’s festive fundraiser to benefit local students seeking higher education.
Reach for the Stars Black Tie Gala is set for Saturday evening, Aug. 13. This year, WNC’s newly renovated 55,000-square-foot Joe Dini Library will be transformed into an elegant, Starry Night-themed event venue. This exclusive event features a live performance by the Jeff Leep Orchestra and dancing under the “stars” in this gorgeous, venue overlooking Carson City.
Enjoy cocktails, hors d’oeuvres, a complete dinner hosted by Chef Howard Jachens, gifts, as well as live and silent auctions. Jack C. Davis Observatory Director Dr. Thomas Herring and observatory volunteers will be on hand to share information about the Perseid Meteor Shower and help you stargaze through state-of-the-art telescopes.
You’re invited to connect with your community and support your community college students at this exclusive, fun-filled event.
All of the excitement begins at 6 p.m.
There are opportunities to sponsor different aspects of the event, including a table, bar, photo booth, entertainment, centerpiece, and more.
