Cocktails on the Veranda | Dinner in the Great Hall | Silent & Live Auctions | Fund the Cause 

Join us for an elegant evening celebrating the wild birds and resident raptors of Schlitz Audubon! Our eagles, owls, and hawks are the special guests of honor, and you will experience them like never before.

This gala will benefit our raptors as well as the important education and conservation work that is central to our mission.

Start your evening with a personal welcome from our magnificent Raptor Ambassadors as you savor the summer air and lush backdrop of trees. Spend cocktail hour on the Veranda, mingling and delighting in nature’s symphony. As the shadows lengthen, stroll inside to bask in the warm grandeur of our Great Hall.

During this festive evening, you will have the opportunity to enjoy:  

    • Extraordinary, up-close encounters with live birds. 
    • A creative, elevated dinner and hors d’oeuvres. 
    • An exciting raffle to win a sparkling diamond bangle from Diamonds Direct.
    • Bidding on exclusive experiences in a thrilling live auction, including a Viking European River Voyage and a Kohler Getaway Experience to access deluxe hotels, golf courses, restaurants, and a spa. Our silent auction includes locally made crafts, arts, and experiences.

We look forward to sharing this unforgettable night with you—where nature’s majesty meets meaningful impact, all in support of the birds that inspire us every day.
