Fundraiser for cancer research at Carson Nugget

The Carson Nugget Steakhouse will host a fundraiser for cancer research on June 28.

The $75 event will feature a raffle drawing for a private wine pairing dinner for eight with the proceeds going to the Relay for Life Foundation. Other prizes include slot machines and golf packages.

The dinner, which starts at 5 p.m., will feature the J. Lohr Winery.

Executive Chef Nick DeMagistris will pair the wine with a seven-course meal, including pan seared venison medallion and a marinated and oven roasted New Zealand rack of lamb.

DeMagistris said the event last year brought in more than $2,000 for the Relay for Life Foundation.

This year the goal is $3,000 to $4,000.

For tickets, call 775-882-1626 ext. 247. The Carson Nugget is located at 507 N. Carson St.
