Stetsons and Stilettos

About

Stetsons and Stilettos began in 2007 and has since grown to be a sold out event. The NILE Foundation's mission is to promote livestock, educate about agriculture and embrace the western way of life. Stetsons and Stilettos focuses on the scholarship aspect of the NILE foundation. Donations from this event added scholarship fund, ensuring that the future generations will get the support they need to pursue higher education.
Donations contributes to youth programs such as; college scholarships, 4th grade Ag Education, livestock judging competitions, the NILE Merit Heifer Program, and the Junior Fed Livestock Show and Sale. The also serves to support the NILE to promote livestock, agriculture, and respect for the western culture.

Cocktail hour at 5:30. Browse the numerous live and silent auction items while catching up with friends until being seated for dinner at 7 p.m. Enjoy an excellently prepared steak dinner during the scholarship recipients' presentation. These bright young adults will briefly speak on their achievements and aspirations--inspirational stories that give hope for the future of the agriculture industry. Raise your hand and bid your heart during the live auction to benefit scholarships.

Stetsons and Stilettos is hosted by the NILE Foundation, a 501(c)3 non-profit that raises money for NILE Youth Programs, specifically focusing on high education scholarships.
The NILE Foundation, Stetsons and Stilettos Committee and NILE staff extend their thanks to all who attended, donated and helped. We appreciate your involvement.
