"Ding" Darling's 75th Anniversary Gala

Celebrate the 75th Anniversary of the J.N. "Ding" Darling National Wildlife Refuge with a classic 1940s drive-in theater themed Gala on December 1, 2020. Enjoy live music, a program projected onto a large drive-in screen with audio broadcasted onto car radios, and “car hops,” safely delivering dinner and drinks while wearing masks. Held in the parking lot across the street from The Community House, this will be a unique and memorable anniversary celebration.

Space is limited to 70 cars, but there is no limit as to how many people can occupy each vehicle. We ask that guests drive a sedan, if possible, to ensure visibility for other guests. Trucks and other "tall" vehicles will be asked to park a farther distance from the screen. 

Tickets are $150 per person.

Proceeds benefit the conservation and education efforts at the J.N. "Ding" Darling National Wildlife Refuge. Thank you for your support in continuing "Ding's" long-lasting legacy.
