What the night holds
Animal inspired outfitsl, good company mandatory. Here is how the evening runs.
Dinner & Drinks
A full plated dinner and a cash bar, served under warm light with the people who make this work possible.
Dancing
The floor opens after the program and stays open. Come ready - this part always runs late.
Silent Auction
Trips, art, experiences and one-of-a-kind wildlife pieces donated by our partners. Bidding opens at the door.
Raffles & 50/50
Raffle baskets all evening, and a 50/50 drawing where one guest walks out with half the pot. The other half goes to the animals.
Guest Speakers
Short talks from the people doing the field work - the ones who can tell you what your ticket actually changed.
The Room
Scientists, zookeepers, teachers, families and first-timers. Nobody at this event is a stranger for long.
Three Causes
Every dollar raised is split between giraffe rewilding, pangolin protection and Florida coral restoration.
Our Programs
Proceeds also keep our hands-on education programs free for schools, libraries and families all year.
One evening funds a year of the work
The Foundation runs lean on purpose. There is no marketing budget and no paid fundraising staff - which means a single well-attended night in November does more for the animals than months of anything else we could do.
Your ticket covers your seat and your dinner. Everything above that - the auction, the raffles, the 50/50, the sponsorships - goes straight into the field, split between three organizations we have worked alongside and trust with the money.
Come hungry, bid hard, and dance badly. It all counts.
Three organizations. Three species that need us.
We do not spread the money thin. This year's proceeds are shared between three groups doing hard, measurable work on the ground and in the water.
Save Giraffes Now
Giraffe numbers have fallen roughly 40% in three decades - a silent extinction almost nobody noticed. Save Giraffes Now rescues, relocates and rewilds giraffes across Africa, and works with the communities who live alongside them.
Pangolin Conservation & Research Foundation
The pangolin is the most trafficked mammal on earth. PCRF works on the breeding, husbandry and field research that has to exist before any of the eight species can be pulled back from the edge.
The Reef Institute
Right here in West Palm Beach, The Reef Institute biobanks Florida's corals, raises juveniles and plants them back on the reef - the closest thing our own coastline has to an insurance policy.
The businesses behind the night
Sponsors cover the cost of the room, the food and the printing - which is exactly why every dollar raised in the room can go to the animals instead.
