Autumn in the Valley Gala

Join the friends and family of Carpenter Nature Center for an evening of fun for a good cause. It’s a memorable dinner, raffle, silent and live auction, and is Carpenter’s major fundraising event. Proceeds from this one event alone pays a naturalist’s salary for a year.

Sunday, September 8, 2019 at 4 p.m.
$110 per ticket, or $95 if you register by August 16th

Walking tours and cart tours of the gardens and grounds begin at 4:00 p.m. The silent auction and open bar begin at 5:00 pm. Guests will also enjoy a catered dinner, a beer tasting provided a local brewery, an entertaining live auction, and a ‘wall of wine’ raffle.

2019 Donation and Sponsor Request Flyer

This event would not be possible without the support of generous donors. Please consider sponsoring this event! We would love to have you join us, sponsor the event, or donate an auction item. If you have not received an invitation by mid July, and would like one, or for more information, contact:
