Thank You for a Wild Night!

It truly was an amazing Wild Night for Wildlife! Delicious food, drinks, and dancing made for a fantastic evening in support of the Quogue Wildlife Refuge. We would like to  extend a heartfelt thank you to all the sponsors, donors, volunteers and vendors who make this event possible. The Refuge’s mission is possible because of your incredible support!

We are thrilled to report that Quogue Wildlife Refuge’s 17th Annual Wild Night for Wildlife was an incredible success! The Gala featured delicious fare by East End Events Catering, libations from Bluebird Hardwater, Long Island Farm Brewery, Championz New Zealand Gin, MeyCorr LLC / Adamas Reserve, Taconic Distillery, desserts & coffee by Olish Farms & Hampton Coffee Company, live music by Noiz & Sunnyland Jazz Band, live and silent auctions hosted by Bill Ritter and Haley Schoeck and a chance to meet our resident animals up close! Thank you to Roses & Rice, Dragonfly Landscape Design LTD, Peat & Son Nursery & Aspatuck Gardens for beautifying the tent and grounds with gorgeous plants and flowers!

This year our gift bags for guests were sponsored by Beach Dental, Danna McCormick/ DLM Web Development and the Westhampton Chamber of Commerce.

Funds raised from this event provide direct support for our educational programming, care and facilities for the resident wildlife, and maintenance of this 305-acre nature preserve that is open to visitors, free of charge, 365 days a year. Thank you to everyone who made this night a success!
