Please help us celebrate our accomplishments over the last 12 months as well as honor some of the amazing people and organizations that are instrumental to the success of our mission.

The Reno DeVilles will be rocking the stage for us this year! Their stage presence at the Best in the West Beard Festival this year had us wanting more! Be sure to slick that hair back and roll up your sleeves or put on your best pin up dress and lets dance the night away. 

Please remember to be responsible, you can get a room at The Best Western Plus through a special room block we have reserved for Gala attendees. If you partake in adult beverages and decide to leave, please utilize a designated driver, ride sharing services or an old fashion cab. 

Thank you to all of our amazing sponsors and volunteers!!!

The inaugural Pratt Award was awarded to the person it is named after, Nelson Pratt. The Pratt award was named after Nelson Pratt in recognition of his philanthropy through his business MJ20 Tattoo Company. Thank you Nelson and MJ20!
