The Evelyn Alexander Wildlife Rescue Center are truly a “grass roots” organization. We are not a monument to the efforts of one individual. A lot of volunteers jumped on the bandwagon along the way. An honorary committee was formed, hosting a cocktail party for WRC in Manhattan to kick off our building fund. From 1999 to 2000, serious efforts were made to raise funds needed to open a professional wildlife rehabilitation center.

Planning steps were taken—from the careful drawing of plans and blueprints, applying for permits, to the recruitment of volunteers to help build the facility. All contributions received went straight into building our dream—the first wildlife hospital and trauma center on Eastern Long Island!

Cost: $275 per ticket, sponsorships available!
