Wine & Wildlife Gala

A night to celebrate, support and safeguard Florida's wild places, The Alliance for Florida's National Parks’ Wine & Wildlife gala is the signature fundraising event benefiting the transformative park education programs. From 5 to 9 p.m. on Tuesday, Nov. 4, at The Club at The Strand in Naples, guests can expect live music, a buffet dinner, and premium open bar, plus live and silent auctions featuring unique treasures, experiences and once-in-a-lifetime adventures at several of Florida’s national parks, all while supporting education, exploration and conservation programs at Big Cypress National Preserve and Biscayne, Dry Tortugas and Everglades National Parks. One of the more powerful moments of the evening will shine a light on S.W.A.M.P., the Swamp Water And Me Program. S.W.A.M.P. provides every sixth grader in Collier County with the opportunity to explore Big Cypress National Preserve through classroom lessons, ranger-led field trips, real science experiments, water testing, and identifying wildlife – all while forming a lasting bond with Florida’s environment.
