The Annual Scholarship Fundraiser. Is held every Feburary at the Valdez Civic Center. The Gala Evening begins with a reception. Followed by a delicious dinner and when ime allows we end the evening with dancing. The auction is held in three parts; a silent auction, outcry auction and a balloon raffle for our larger ticket items. The donated items are displayed throughout the Valdez Civic Center and the students participate by walking among the audience with the current outcry bid items. Donations for the event come from all over the world featuring autographed sports memorbilia, autographed photos of stars, politicians and sports figures, special trips, Alaskan arts and crafts and quite alot of donations from local businesses. This is truly an extravaganza that also raises between 25 and 40 thousand dollars annually, all for the benefit of our students. Call 907-834-1600 for more information.
