The Western Nevada College Foundation extends its deepest appreciation to everyone who contributed to the success of the eighth annual Reach for the Stars Gala — Fire and Ice — on Saturday night, Aug. 2, in Joe Dini Library. This unforgettable evening was made possible through the collective efforts of our generous sponsors, dedicated attendees, students and a supportive community.
"Early results suggest this was our most successful Reach for the Stars Gala yet, opening even more doors for WNC students through scholarships,
emergency student funding, career program support, and other campus services," said
WNC Foundation Executive Director and Chief Advancement Officer Niki Gladys. "We’re
still finalizing the numbers, but one thing is already clear: the generosity in the
room was matched only by the support we felt from across campus."
Here is look back at this memorable evening of generosity, fun, community spirit and
vision through a photo gallery.
