Once
a year the Dixie College Foundation holds the Fire and Ice fundraising Gala. It
is a black-tie event where funds are raised and used exclusively for need-based
scholarships for Dixie State University students. The contributions donated to
the Fire and Ice Gala allow students, who, because of financial constraints,
may not otherwise be able to complete or pursue their college education. The annual Fire and Ice Gala brings together a variety of
benefactors for a silent auction, dinner and live auction as part of the foundations
fundraising efforts.
A recent recipient of a Fire and Ice Scholarship was
Everton Araujo. Everton came to play basketball at Dixie State University
(DSU) in 2009. He needed help to continue his education. He stated
that this scholarship made it possible for him to do just that.
"I've since graduated from DSU with a bachelor's degree in Integrated
Studies (Business Administration and Mass Communication), said Everton, and I
am finishing my master's degree in Public Administration." He is
currently employed as the International Coordinator at Dixie
State. He and his family enjoy living here and being a part of the
Dixie Spirit they have discovered here in St. George. Everton and his
wife Melisa have been married for nearly six years and have a 10-month-old baby
girl named Livia Marie.
