We’re just days away from the Blue & Gold Celebration presented by Kinross �ֻ�ֱ�� on Saturday, Sept. 14 and we couldn’t be more thrilled to invite you to join us for a truly unforgettable evening. This year’s event promises to be a vibrant celebration of community, creativity and philanthropy, all in support of our students.

What to expect:

A Culinary Adventure: Get ready to indulge in a delicious array of �ֻ�ֱ��-inspired dishes, thoughtfully curated to showcase the best flavors of our region. Each item is served on small plates, perfect for sampling everything from king crab sliders and red wine braised short ribs to chef-attended pasta stations. And as you settle in for the evening’s program, enjoy a variety of house-made desserts served right at your table.
Art Pull: Take home a piece of UAF with original artworks created by our talented students. Make a donation at the Art Pull table, draw a number, and claim a wrapped mystery artwork that supports student scholarships. It’s a unique way to give back and receive something special in return.
Outcry Auction: Bid on exclusive, one-of-a-kind UAF experiences during our outcry auction! From VIP hockey access and behind-the-scenes tours to immersive �ֻ�ֱ�� Native dining, these packages offer something truly special. Your bids will support student scholarships—don’t miss your chance to make a difference and create unforgettable memories!
