Get ready to Raise the Stakes for Nevada foster youth! Kelly Burrows and Valieria Koss of the RennerVation Foundation join Sarah Johns to preview Raise the Stakes, a fundraising event happening October 17 at the National Automobile Museum in Reno.

Created in partnership with Northern Nevada Ford Dealers, Raise the Stakes combines poker, bingo, entertainment, live art, food and plenty of surprises—all while raising money for RennerVation Foundation's Pave Your Way program. The program supports foster and at-risk youth ages 16–24 as they prepare for independent adulthood through life skills, education, career opportunities and a lasting community of support.

Guests can choose how they want to experience the night, from general admission and bingo to taking a seat at the poker tables. And there's a major prize on the line: the top poker player will receive a two-year lease on a Ford Bronco, courtesy of Northern Nevada Ford Dealers.

Most importantly, proceeds help RennerVation Foundation continue expanding Pave Your Way and providing critical support to foster youth throughout Nevada, including young people in rural Northern Nevada communities.
