WILLIAMS LAKE—Set against the backdrop of the charming Williams Lake locale, a night of enchantment beckons as Canadian country music luminary, winner of the CCMA accolade, and nominee for the prestigious Juno Award, Aaron Pritchett, takes the spotlight at A Night of Radiance. Thompson Rivers University’s Williams Lake Fundraising Gala is set to dazzle attendees on Saturday, Oct. 14, bringing together a gathering of over 150 individuals for an elegant semi-formal rendezvous. The soirée is not just about glamour; it carries the profound purpose of supporting TRU Williams Lake students through scholarships, bursaries, and financial grants. Over the last eight years, this grand occasion has amassed a remarkable $150,000 in funds, elevating the TRU Grit Student Awards.
Pritchett’s innate down-to-earth allure infuses the event with warmth. He will serenade the audience with timeless classics, including renowned tracks such as “Better When I Do” and “When a Momma’s Boy Meets a Daddy’s Girl.” As a true British Columbian, Pritchett’s roots remain embedded in the province. After a quarter-century journey within the country music landscape, he has secured 25 British Columbia Country Music Awards.
Radiating excitement, Pritchett shares, “I’m thrilled about my performance at the gala in October. It’s bound to be a night of joy filled with exceptional country melodies, all for a noble cause. I couldn’t ask for anything more!”
Beyond the euphony of live music and the allure of dance, attendees at A Night of Radiance shall be treated to exquisite cocktails, a gourmet dining experience, and a dynamic live auction aimed at bolstering TRU’s fund-a-need endeavor.
Securing a ticket to this gala extravaganza ensures not only an evening of splendor but also a contribution to a meaningful cause. Each ticket is priced at $120 per individual, with an option for a table of eight at $960, or a patron table at $1,500. For comprehensive details, visit tru.ca/williamslake/gala.
