Après Après is an Intimate Fundraising Event on the Shore of Lake Tahoe to benefit the Diamond Peak Ski Education Foundation
The Diamond Peak Ski Education Foundation (DSPEF) will host an intimate VIP fundraising event on the crystal blue shores of Lake Tahoe in Incline Village on Sunday, August 28 from 3 to 7:30 PM. The donor party of the season, Après Après, the evening on the lake, will be filled with exquisite food and amazing local music.
Après Après provides a rare opportunity for 80 guests to experience an evening at one of Incline Village’s premier private lake front properties, as longtime local philanthropist Kern Schumacher generously opens his private lakefront estate to support the DPSEF Ski Team.
VIP guests will enjoy a caviar and champagne reception, special VIP seating, and a meet & greet with special guests in a stunning setting; the property is used for the exclusive annual spectacular Oscar de le Renta annual fashion show benefit. All guests will enjoy incredible hors d'oeuvres, dinner, and cocktails, with a view, while mingling with Diamond Peak Ski Team’s new Executive Director and Board members.
The evening’s music is matched to the magnitude of the property’s beauty and will take guests musically from afternoon into sunset. The String Beings, Reno and Tahoe’s Premiere String Ensemble will set the scene during cocktail hour, followed by award-winning songwriter Eric Henry Anderson on keyboards during dinner. Eric, a life-long ski racer and coach at Diamond Peak, was commissioned by the city of Reno, Artown, and The Reno Philharmonic Orchestra to write and produce a song and music video on behalf of Reno. The resulting “Heartbeat to Heartbeat, Eye to Eye (From Reno with Love)” is a citywide collaboration featuring over 50 performing artists from around Reno.
Following dinner, guests will enjoy a private lakefront concert by Ike & Martin, the premier acoustic rock duo in Lake Tahoe as the sun sets along the west shore, setting a golden glow on the guests. Performing together for more than 20 years, Ike Marr plays the banjo, guitar, mandolin, and viola; Martin Shears plays the guitar, foot bass, dobro, and harmonica. In this rare lakefront performance venue, guests will experience a show they’ll never forget.
