Boots & Bow Ties Gala:
Kick Up Your Boots & Make a Difference
Kick Up Your Boots & Make a Difference
Slip on your boots, fasten your bow tie, and get ready for an unforgettable evening of rustic elegance at the Boots & Bow Ties Gala —the Lansing Educational Foundation’s signature fundraising event!
This year’s vibe? Rustic elegance meets high-end western. A touch of denim + a touch
of sparkle = perfect.
Ladies: Break out your boots with cocktail or evening dresses, dressy jumpsuits, or upscale denim paired with sparkly tops or statement jewelry. Add a hat, fringe jacket, or bold belt if you’re feeling extra.
Gentlemen: Pair your boots with a sport coat, blazer, or dress shirt and bow tie. Dark denim or tailored pants with a western twist work perfectly. A bolo tie, cowboy hat, or belt buckle is encouraged but not required.
Event Highlights:
- Cocktail Reception: Kick off the evening with a hand-crafted cocktail and great company in a stylish, welcoming atmosphere.
- Dinner Buffet: Indulge in a buffet featuring a variety of gourmet dishes.
- Dancing: Hit the dance floor for an evening of music and celebration with friends and supporters.
- Fundraising Activities: Participate in various fundraising activities throughout the evening, all aimed at supporting the students and teachers of the Lansing School District.
By attending the Boots & Bow Ties Gala, you're helping the Lansing Educational Foundation continue its mission to enrich the learning environment for all students in USD 469. From innovative classroom grants to essential school programs, your support helps create opportunities that matter.
