Live & Silent Auctions
Our live and silent auctions are one of the most exciting parts of the night! You will have an opportunity to bid on these exciting packages, getaways, and outdoor experiences, and every dollar you spend on the live auction prizes will go directly to our work.
That means while you enjoy a few nights along the Smith River, a whitewater rafting trip down the newly-undammed Klamath River, or a beach vacation in Oaxaca, Mexico, you will also be supporting our litigation work, funding our clean water advocacy work, aiding in our forest defense efforts, and allowing us to continue our work fighting for the regions wild places, wildlife, and wild rivers.
We thank you for your support of our work by attending the Annual Dinner and participating in the Live and Silent Auctions!
