RENO, Nev. – The 52nd annual Governor's Dinner, the premier social event of the summer season in Northern Nevada and a key fundraising initiative for Wolf Pack athletics has been canceled, the Nevada athletics department announced today.

The dinner, which was set for Thursday, July 9 at the Governor's Mansion in Carson City, has been held for the past 51 years since the inaugural dinner in 1969.

"We can't wait for the Governor's Dinner to return, bigger and better than ever, in 2021," said athletics director Doug Knuth.

The Wolf Pack athletics department continues to plan and prepare for a safe return to athletics activities in the fall semester.
