11th Annual Auction & Dinner Fundraiser a Huge Success!

Stokes Nature Center’s 11th Annual Auction & Dinner Fundraiser on November 1st was a huge success! We exceeded our goal, raising over $30,000 to support our nature education programs. And we had a wonderful time!

We’d like to thank everyone who helped make the fundraiser a success. Thank you to our volunteers, your help and support are invaluable. Thank you to Val Grant, our excellent auctioneer, for a most entertaining evening. We’d also like to thank the Copper Mill Restaurant, Fuhriman’s Framing and Fine Art, Caffe Ibis, and the College of Natural Resources Dean’s office. And a big thank you to all of you who donated items and services to the auction (listed below) and to everyone who showed up and helped us celebrate 11 years of nature discovery in Logan Canyon. Without your support, we could not have reached our goal. Thank you!
