The event will help raise money for the Fort Dodge Community School District.

“With school budgets, not just at our school declining, foundations help bridge the gap to offset the school budgets,” said Fort Dodge Community Schools Foundation Director Nik Moser. “We help pick up anywhere we can that allows classes to have the newest technologies.

“We also help get supplies that go above and beyond the budgets of the school district.”

Festivities will begin with a pre-party from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. at O’Goodies, 16 N. Seventh St. The event will start at 7 p.m. at the Laramar, 710 First Ave. N., with a post-party following at O’Goodies.

The cost for the night is $40 or $20 for school district members.

Fort Dodge graduate Sawyer Springer will also be performing music for the event.

There will be a large array of silent auction items for guests to bid on. Live auction items will include dinners with Fort Dodge Superintendent Josh Porter and others.

A four-night stay in Arizona will also be up for auction.

The FDCS Foundation has helped with an Anatomage Table at Fort Dodge Senior High. The Anatomage Table is an advanced 3D visualization tool used in nursing education, offering virtual, life-sized, real human cadaver dissection, CT/MRI scans, and over 1,000 pathological cases to enhance anatomical understanding and clinical training.

The Foundation also took part in 1,000 books before kindergarten and have done a lot with CT programs.

Last year, the FDCSF approved $150,000 in grant requests from teachers, benefiting students in every building in the district.

Members of the FDCSF are Moser, Kelly Hinds (president), Rick Lamoureux (vice president), Sarah Marsh (secretary), Cole Jaeschke, Kim McCarville, Hope Brown, Jessica Vonsak, Stefanie Koenig, Holly McClintock, Mary Kay Daniel, Lydia Schurr, and Dave Jakeman.
