Inaugural Blue Tie Ball Wolf Pack Athletics would like to thank our friends at the Peppermill for putting on an event to remember, the inaugural 2 Blue Tie Ball, held Friday, Feb. 12. The evening, which raised money for student-athlete scholarships at the University of Nevada, was a tremendous success and delivered as promised—elegance, amazing food, wine and fun! Student-athletes were dressed to impress in formal attire as they greeted guests and escorted them into the magnificently decorated Tuscany Ballroom. The highlight of the evening was the dance performed by our student-athletes, dance and cheer team. We would also like to thank our event sponsors: Northern Nevada Toyota Dealers, E. L. Cord Foundation, Brantly & Lisa Compton, Wells Fargo, IGT, and the Hart Foundation. Of course, a special thanks to all who attended the Blue Tie Ball.
