Every year for the last five years, the hottest ticket in town has been the Fire & Ice Gala – a night of glamour, good food and fun – with proceeds going to needs-based scholarships for students attending Dixie State College of Utah. The Sixth Annual Fire & Ice Gala is sponsored by the Dixie College Foundation, a nonprofit entity, and by generous local individuals and businesses.

Last year, 110 Dixie State students received a scholarship award through the Dixie College Foundation and its Fire & Ice Gala, including current DSC student Julie Wright, a pre-law major and who would not be able to afford to complete a college education without the generosity of donors to the Dixie College Foundation.

“Those who donate to this fund make it possible for struggling students to further our education,” says Wright. “I make a solemn promise that I will utilize these funds to their utmost and in turn, I will use my education to continue to make our community such a special place to live.”

This festive evening begins with greetings from some of the community’s most prominent citizens. Hors d’oeuvres are enjoyed as guests participate in a silent auction with something for everyone to bid on, including vacation packages, personal pampering items (e.g. massages and facials), sports memorabilia, autographed books and collectibles, and more.  

A delectable meal is served in the ballroom as the live auction commences with an opportunity to bid on larger items such as vehicles, paintings by prominent local artists, and extravagant vacation packages.

This year’s event will take place on Friday, February 26, at 6:00 p.m., in the SunRiver Clubhouse. Tickets are $125 per person. For reservations and more information, please contact Marilyn Lamoreaux at 435-652-7502.
