Calista Heritage Foundation said May 23 that Ariel Tweto and Stephen Qucung Blanchett will emcee the 14th Annual Calista Heritage Foundation Golf Tournament on June 19 at the Moose Run Hill Golf Course in Arctic Valley. These two lively entertainers will bring the golf classic’s Mardi Gras theme to life. With active participation from businesses and organizations this tournament is the main source of contributions for CHF’s scholarship program.
Stephen Qacung Blanchett grew up in the Yup’ik community of Bethel, Alaska. He is one of the founders of the award-winning musical group Pamyua. Stephen and the group have performed on stage in many countries and venues throughout the world, most recently in Iceland. The group shares the unique cultural expressions of the Inuit people.
Ariel Tweto is on the popular television series “Flying Wild Alaska” which aired on Discovery Channel. “I am so excited and honored to co-host the 14th Annual Calista Heritage Foundation Golf Tournament. I am a big believer in setting goals and chasing after your dreams, and the CHF helps students pursue their dreams through higher education and career training which is so awesome! Also, I need a good excuse to wear a polo shirt and a visor while hanging out in beautiful Anchorage, Alaska! This is going to be such a great event,” said Tweto.
