Spotlight 29 hosts college scholarship fundraiser

This year's event is staged Saturday, April 26 in the Spotlight Showroom at Spotlight 29 Casino and raises funds for scholarships for needy college students across the western United States. Appropriate to its mission, the theme for this year's event is "Pennies From Heaven," and holding the master of ceremony's umbrella to catch the pennies from heaven is Valley TV favorite Pattie Daly Caruso, acting as emcee for the sixth straight year.

The Fashion Show gives Valley residents an insider's glimpse into the hottest fashions for the season. "Like Heidi Klum says, in fashion, one day you're in, and the next day you're out," said Theresa Mike, founder of the Fashion Show and director of Spotlight 29 Casino Cares. "So you're definitely going to want to come to the Fashion Show to make sure your look is in and not out."

Tickets are available now in a wide range of prices. VIP Runway tables are $750; a standard table for eight is $700; King's Row booths seat four and are $650; Queen's Row booths seat four and are $550. Individual tickets are also available for $90. Tickets can be purchased by calling (760) 863-2484.

Pepsi is the event's title sponsor, and fashions for this year's runway show come from numerous shops including Akademiks, Bougie, Cezar, Enyce, Lane Bryant, La Quinta Resort Tennis Pro Shop, Pelle Pelle, Nicole, Rocawear and Yatab.

In addition to the fashions, the night also features an incredible dinner from the new JEM Steakhouse. The menu is traditionally kept a secret not revealed until served.

The evening benefits the Theresa A. Mike Scholarship Foundation, an endowed scholarship program that awards scholarships to worthy students across the western U.S. Recipients can use the scholarship funds to attend any college or university of their choice.

The Foundation and Fashion Show were created to honor the memory of Theresa A. Mike, a young woman and new mother whose life was cut tragically short. Theresa was dedicated to enhancing the traditions, culture and future of her tribe, the Twenty-Nine Palms Band of Mission Indians and Native Americans everywhere.
