2024 Earth Day Benefit Dinner
Thursday, April 25, 2024
5:00 — 9:00pm
Bobak’s Signature Events
Our annual Earth Day Benefit is a critical source of funding for our important work to save nearby nature, protect our region’s vital waterways, and connect children of all ages to the wonders of the natural world. We are so excited to gather at Bobak’s Signature Events again this April, and hope you’ll join us!
A watershed moment is a turning point, the exact moment that changes the direction of an activity or situation. (source: grammarist.com).
We are living in a time of great change – change in our climate, change in our relationship to the Earth, change in conservation. We’re making a shift, not just preserving land but also restoring it, not saving nature from people, but bringing people and nature together, not recognizing nature as something outside of us, but something to bring within and to be within as the source of our physical and mental sustenance and wellbeing. Your support of The Conservation Foundation’s Earth Day Benefit will bring momentum and power to that shift.
Human and natural communities are strongest when they flow together.
Be part of this watershed moment for local nature.
