ABOUT THE UCROSS GALA
Join us as we celebrate Ucross Foundation's mission, history, friends, and artist-alumni at our 2024 gala and fundraising dinner on Thursday, September 26, 2024.
|
A Place in Time: The Ucross Gala will begin with cocktails in our unforgettable setting down Big Red Lane, and it will continue with dinner, entertainment, and an awards ceremony in a heated tent on the Ranch House lawn.
The celebration will culminate in an awards ceremony, when we will present Senator Al Simpson and Mrs. Ann Simpson with this year’s Raymond Plank Award for Visionary Leadership for distinguished service to Wyoming and the nation, support for music and the arts at some of the nation’s most beloved institutions, and leadership that has inspired us all. The Simpsons will be introduced by special guest Anna Sale, the award-winning interviewer and author behind the podcast Death, Sex & Money. In addition, the night will include appearances by many Ucross friends and partners; short performances by special Ucross alumni-artists; a fun, lively auction; food by Basil & Bloom; and good community cheer. |
