“Stars” event supports scholarships The Adams State University Foundation’s “Evening with our Stars 2014,” held for the second time April 4, showcased student talent and raised funds for scholarships to benefit students from the San Luis Valley. "The motivation behind the ‘Evening With Our Stars’ was to provide another way for the community and Adams State to connect,” noted ASU Foundation President Duane Bussey ‘82. “The focus is less on fundraising and more on communication and awareness. It's a great opportunity for people to socialize and to experience some of ASU's many talented students and staff. Adams State has so many ‘stars,’ and I know everyone who has attended our first two events has been so impressed with the quality of the performances and found the evening very enjoyable." In addition to 68 West (a capella group) and The Lost & Found (improv comedy troupe. (See story pg. 16), which performed at the inaugural “Evening with our Stars” event last year, the audience of 88 also enjoyed a presentation by the ASU Chemistry Magic group. “Our ticket sales and dessert auction raised nearly $8,000, with 80% of the net proceeds supporting scholarships,” added Tammy Lopez ‘91, ‘00, executive director of the ASU Foundation.
