And join us for the auctions!

This year’s auction will include a dazzling array of items from around the world – many with a wildlife theme!  Works by talented artisans and crafters, gifts for kids and kids-at-heart, estate jewelry, one-of-a-kind treasures and experiences … and more! Bidding on all of those items will close at 7:30 p.m. Eastern on Saturday, November 7.

We’ll have online showcases of our auction items. Join us on Facebook Live throughout Gala Week as we highlight a variety of auction items with Marley, our Development Associate. These live showcases will be open to everyone.

Though we hope to see you online during Gala Week, you do not need to purchase a ticket to the Gala to bid in the online auctions!

The Center’s online auction gallery, and registration for bidding, is open now through 7:30 p.m. on Gala Night, November 7!
