The University Foundation is hosting its annual Scholarship Gala fundraiser on Saturday, April 23 with a Boots and Bling theme encouraging participants to wear their western best for an evening of dancing, food and entertainment.
The Scholarship Gala begins at 6:00 p.m. in historic Graham Gym. The evening will include cocktails, dinner, a silent auction, complimentary bar and dancing to the live music of the Bucky Allred Band.
“Each year, this event provides our community and WNMU leaders the opportunity to get together for important reasons, raising scholarships for our deserving students, showing support for the work that the University Foundation is accomplishing and to build camaraderie among each other for a common passion,” said Jodi Edens-Crocker, University Foundation Director.
Graham Gym will once again be transformed with décor reflecting the year’s theme. This year, attendees are encouraged to show up in their boots, buckles and rhinestone covered apparel in celebration of the culture of the southwest cowboy and cowgirl.
“The University Foundation is thankful to our sponsors which include official event sponsor Lawley Toyota in Silver City,” said Edens-Crocker.”
Reservations are $150 per person or $1000 for a table of eight. WNMU alumni can make single reservations for $125. RVSP is available by calling 575-538-6675.
