FAIRBANKS — The Alaska Nanooks are excited to invite the community to a night of celebration and support at the fourth annual Gold Rush, presented by Usibelli Coal Mine taking place Saturday, March 21, 2026, in the Alaska Airlines Gymnasium at the Patty Center.

This year's fundraiser promises to be an unforgettable evening featuring delicious food and drinks, interactive games, exciting prizes, and both silent and outcry auctions. The event will also showcase a crowd-favorite twist: a Reverse Raffle — a raffle where attendees hope their number is the last one remaining. With only 300 tickets available, every draw heightens the suspense:

• Every 25th ticket pulled wins $100
• When the drawing reaches the final five tickets, those remaining face a thrilling choice — split the grand prize or compete for the full $5,000 jackpot

Guests are encouraged to arrive in "Fairbanks Fancy" attire and to bring friends for a memorable evening supporting Nanooks athletics. Attendees must be 21+, unless accompanied by a parent or legal guardian.

Tickets are on sale now and include both entry into the event and participation in the raffle. Winners do not need to be present to claim their prize. All proceeds directly support YOUR Alaska Nanooks.
