Diné College is hosting the 50th anniversary scholarship gala and student fundraiser Sept. 22 in Scottsdale, Arizona, to help students with financial needs.
“It’s for a very worthy cause and we welcome donors and attendees from everywhere,” Diné College President Monty Roessel said.
The gala welcomes financial donations. The funds go toward future scholarships at the college.
