Wildlife Safari will have its annual benefit dinner and auction on Friday, September 11th.

This year’s theme is Blooming Futures. The event will celebrate the impact Wildlife Safari has on children and adults with disabilities, helping them bloom through meaningful connections with wildlife, education and unforgettable experiences. Every ticket purchased and every dollar raised directly supports the mission of serving the community while inspiring lifelong commitments to wildlife conservation.

As their most important fundraising event of the year, the evening will bring together supporters, community leaders and local businesses for an evening filled with food, unique animal encounters and exciting auction experiences – all in support of Wildlife Safari.

The evening includes a cocktail hour featuring beer, wine and appetizers, a catered dinner, an opportunity to meet Safari’s education animals, special presentations highlighting Wildlife Safari’s impact and projects, and a fund-a-need opportunity to make an even greater difference.

The evening will go from 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. Tickets are $100 per person. To purchase tickets, go to: www.wildlifesfari.net/pages/upcoming-events
