WNCs Academic Fundraiser to Help Students Nears
Jul 15, 2022
The Reach for the Stars Black Tie Gala is set for Saturday evening, Aug. 13 in the newly renovated 55,000-square-foot Joe Dini Library. The library will be transformed into an elegant, starry night-themed event venue and feature a live performance by the Jeff Leep Orchestra with dancing under the stars in this gorgeous venue overlooking Carson City.
WNC Jump Start graduate Morgan Golden, who just completed her freshman year studying aerospace and aeronautical engineering at the University of Washington, is the featured speaker. The enterprising student is part of five student clubs at Washington, including one that built a submarine.
Enjoy cocktails, hors doeuvres, a complete dinner hosted by Chef Howard Jachens, gifts, as well as live and silent auctions. Youre invited to connect with other community members and support your community college students at this exclusive, fun-filled event. All of the excitement begins at 6 p.m.
