Sioux-Per Gala, Auction set for 2008 Attention all UND Fighting Sioux fans. Mark your calendars for Saturday Oct. 18, 2008, for the third biennial Sioux-Per Gala and Auction. The Sioux-Per Gala will wrap up the week-long Homecoming events, which are scheduled to begin Oct. 13. Hosted by the UND Alumni Association and UND Athletics, the Sioux-Per Gala provides for a fun-filled evening to help raise money for student-athlete scholarships. One-hundred percent of the net proceeds will be used for this purpose. In past years, more than $200,000 has been raised. With UND’s move to Division 1, Impact Scholarships will be fundamental to the success of athletic programs. Trips, autographed memorabilia and much more will be up for grabs. If you’re not looking to be a bidder, you can also support UND Athletics by donating unique items, becoming an event sponsor or joining our auction committees. Buy your tickets now for the Sioux-Per price of $75 each. After Jan. 1, 2008, ticket prices will be $100 per person to attend. Mark your calendars, tell your friends and plan to be there for the Homecoming 2008 Sioux-per Gala and Auction!
