This enchanting event promises a night of entertainment, exquisite dining and unique décor, offering a magical journey through time.

The WNC Foundation is honored to announce that the Wells Fargo Foundation will once again serve as presenting sponsor for the Reach for the Stars Gala.

“Wells Fargo recognizes that a well-educated population leads to greater economic stability. As ‘The Bank of Doing,’ we support events like Reach for the Stars in Northern Nevada because the proceeds help students achieve personal and professional success,” said Wells Fargo Nevada Senior Social Impact and Sustainability Specialist Wendell Blaylock.

Niki Gladys, Executive Director of Advancement at WNC, said that “Wells Fargo supports WNC’s mission of accessibility and is a model community partner. We are incredibly grateful to Wells Fargo for their generous donation, which makes higher education accessible to more students and helps them become financially independent. Wells Fargo’s continuous investment in our community empowers others to make better financial choices and build sustainable futures.”

The Wells Fargo Foundation's mission is to strengthen historically marginalized communities by investing in pathways to economic advancement and generational wealth. Its primary focus areas are housing affordability, financial health, small business growth and sustainability, addressing key social and economic challenges in Northern Nevada.

With limited seating available, ensure your place in history as WNC partners and supporters come together to support students through scholarships, programs and projects. At the heart of WNC’s mission is a commitment to shaping a future where every dream is within reach.
