Fire & Ice Gala 2013


I have served on the Dixie College Foundation for the past 6 years. I have had the wonderful opportunity to help promote and publicize the good things the Foundation does in raising money to go toward the needs based scholarships for students attending Dixie State College, now Dixie State University as of 3/16/13 when Gov. Herbert signs the Bill.  I have had the wonderful opportunity to work with amazing community leaders like Larry Gardner, Randy Wilkinson, Dale Larkin, Cameron Morby, Pres. Steve Naudald, George Whitehead, Darcy Stewart, Jeff Rogers, Marcia Wade, Dorothy Orton, Pat Western, Kalynn Larsen, Ron Wade, Ira McArthur, Rod Savage, Brock Belnap, Doug Bringhurst, Lon Henderson, Brad Last, Rick Palmer, Megan White, and Louise Zeenati.

This year for the Gala silent auction to be held March 1 at Sun River , I was able to secure four tickets to a Utah Jazz game vs. Phx on March 27 (good seats - $600+ value), a signed Gordon Haywood jersey and a Utah Jazz signed basketball. I also secured a two night lodging in a cabin at the Zion Ponderosa through good friends Bart & Julie  Millard. These funds will be added to the hundreds if not thousands of auction items gathered up by the committee and auctioned off to raise more scholarship funds for needs based students.
