Indulge in a gourmet meal, sip on local libations, place bids in the silent and live auctions, hear from Cascadia Wildlands staff, and enjoy lively conversation. Plus, weāll keep the holiday cheer going throughout the evening with world jazz from Mhondoro! Tickets and reserved tables of eight will be available for purchase soon. Keep an eye on your email, social media and here on our website. This popular event will sell out.
The Wonderland Auction is Cascadia Wildlandsā largest fundraiser of the year, and proceeds from it propel our work into the new year to keep big trees standing, wild rivers flowing, and gray wolves howling in our special region. This memorable event relies on your generosity to make it such a smashing success year after year, and we are thankful for that.
