The Northern Stars Celebration — in addition to serving as a wonderful night of entertainment — is a community-based fundraiser to create more and better opportunities to engage students in the Anoka-Hennepin schools.

The celebration consists of a social hour with silent auction, delicious dinner with a live auction and special appeal, followed by social time. It is a fabulous night out with a chance to meet new people, have fun with friends, and socialize with neighbors. The Northern Stars is a lively, not formal, evening.

Typically 350 guests attend from across the district including parents, staff, community leaders, and members of the community. Attire is after "Five O'clock" or "cocktail."

Event sponsorships are available. Inquiries should be directed to Tess DeGeest, executive director of AHEF.
