A list of what has been supported in the past is available for viewing at the Tri-Valley website. Viking NIght is the only fund raising event for Tri-Valley Athletics! To ensure the continued success of our athletic programs, please plan on attending or otherwise financially supporting the event. With the on going lack of State funding for schools, it is becoming even more important that organizations like that TVABC are able to provide financial support for activities and needs that would likely be cancelled or otherwise done away with without our support. Since 2005, approximately $150,000 Viking Night proceeds has been infused into the Tri-Valley District. Music and hor d'oeuvres will be provided from 7pm-11pm with the $5,000 Grand Prize Drawing at about 10:00pm. Only 200 tickets will be sold, so the odds of winning are rather good.

Each ticket allows admission for up to four guests and one entry into the $10,000 Viking Night Grand Prize Drawing. Ticket purchasers must be age 21 or older.
