about the inaugural gala
An Evening Under our Yavapai Sky
Join the Yavapai Indian Foundation on Saturday, April 18, 2026, at We-Ko-Pa Golf Club’s Main Clubhouse for an unforgettable Western-themed evening rooted in the heritage, culture, and community of the Fort McDowell Yavapai Nation.
This special night will bring guests together for fine dining, Native entertainment, cultural storytelling, and a silent auction — all in support of programs that strengthen our people and preserve what matters most.
Proceeds benefit local families in need, youth sports, scholarships, youth and senior initiatives, and the continued preservation of the Fort McDowell Yavapai Nation’s history and traditions.
