Experience an extraordinary evening supporting our mission; “To Protect and conserve native wildlife by integrating veterinary medicine, rehabilitation, public education, professional training, and research.”  

Our Annual Gala is a major funding source for the Center, contributing enough each year to cover approximately 1/3 of our operating costs.

Blue Ridge Wildlife Center's "Wildlife Wonders ~ Silver and Goldfinch" Gala raised $411,465!  These funds will directly support our essential staff, critical programs, and the wildlife that rely on us for care and protection.
