14th Annual Fire and Ice Gala

On Friday, March 2, 2018 Dixie Foundation will hold its 14th annual Fire and Ice Gala funding need based scholarships for Dixie State University Students. The funds raised by the Fire and Ice Gala allow students with financial restraints an opportunity to attend Dixie State University. This year's Gala will have a Wizard of OZ theme "There's no place like home" and will be held at the Burns Arena on the campus of Dixie State University in St. George, Utah. The interest in the Gala pushed the event coordinators to the limit at its previous location and the move of the Gala to Dixie State University will help accommodate more guests. The larger venue will allow the committee to bring in celebrity Emcee Alex Boye, who is offering a special auction item you won't want to miss. 

The Fire and Ice Gala is sponsored by Dixie Foundation, a 501(c)(3) and supported by generous individuals and businesses. The proceeds from Fire and Ice have provided much needed scholarships to those who would not otherwise be able to attend college. 

Jeff Morby, Dixie Foundation president stated, "This night will result in scholarship funds for those in need of assistance to be bale to pursue their goals, which otherwise might not be possible." One of the recipients of a Fire and Ice scholarship told him, "I would not be able to attend school if it were not for the funds made possible from this fund raising event." This year guests and sponsors will have online ability to donate, sponsor and buy tickets on the foundation website."

According to Gala director Ronda Neilson, "Being Closely involved with Dixie State University has brought a whole new energy of volunteerism to the Gala. We have an incredible Fire and Ice Committee who are really dedicated to growing this special event to create awareness for the need for scholarships for students to attend Dixie State University. We have also seen an increase in amazing auction items that include works of art, guns, vacation destinations including a vacation home getaway to Cabo San Lucas, and many more items. We are able to provide an increase in social media coverage for organizations who have sponsored or donated auction items. We are seeing more electronic acknowledgment for those involved this year than ever before." 

The Gala participants will be entertained in an amazing new atmosphere, all the while enjoying wonderful food from the award-winning Cliffside Restaurant. 

We invite the public to be part of this event. The Fire and Ice Gala is open to everyone.
