We sincerely hope you will join with us from wherever you are to celebrate conservation! We promise you an evening of fun, food for thought, and fundraising to show your support for the precious land and wildlife in the Rogue River region. We will treat you to an evening of inspiring virtual presentations focused on elevating the diverse voices and experiences of Indigenous people and people of color. Guests include Director Emeritus of Native American Programs at Southern Oregon University with the rank of Assistant Professor (retired) David West who is enrolled with the Citizen Potawatomi Nation, Latino Outdoors Executive Director José González, and a few special surprise guests who will share their experiences and encouragement for the future of justice, equity, diversity, and inclusion within the conservation movement.
We will close the evening with a rousing pitch for everyone to raise their virtual paddle and fundraise for Save-an-Acre...or two or 20. You can also do this online prior to the event.
Starting on Friday, May 7, you can feast on a stellar online auction full of intriguing items and adventure-filled packages.
