Wild Fish Soiree & Benefit Auction

Join us on May 16, 2009 at the Willows Lodge, in the heart of Western Washington’s wine country, to celebrate Wild Fish Conservancy's 20th anniversary. While we are very proud to celebrate this remarkable milestone, we also realize that there is still much work to be done. In that spirit, this year’s Wild Fish Soiree and Benefit Auction promises to be a very special evening as we celebrate 20 years of wild fish conservation here in the Northwest and look forward to meeting the new challenges and opportunities that lie ahead.

We hope that you will join us for this evening of gourmet food, fine wine, lively socializing, and a rare keynote address by Bill McMillan, Wild Fish Conservancy Board President and renowned conservationist, biologist, and steelhead authority.

The Wild Fish Soiree is Wild Fish Conservancy’s principal fundraising event and is a wonderful opportunity to meet and mingle with the Wild Fish Conservancy’s staff, board of directors, and supporters while bidding on a wide variety of items including fishing trips abroad, local excursions, weekend getaways, fly fishing equipment, fine wine, gourmet dinners, and much more.

Last year’s event was a tremendous success, raising tens of thousands of dollars for Wild Fish Conservancy’s unique science, education, and advocacy initiatives. But we can’t rest on our laurels. We depend on the support of individuals like you that are committed to wild fish conservation. Help us meet the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead by attending this year’s Wild Fish Soiree and Benefit Auction. 

The Wild Fish Soiree will begin with a silent auction and champagne reception at 5:00 p.m. followed by a gourmet dinner and live auction at 6:30 p.m. Admission to the Wild Fish Soiree is $110 and includes a champagne reception with hors d’oeuvres, gourmet dinner, wine, and a one year Wild Fish Conservancy membership. Please note the new location for this year's Soiree.
