Wild in the Country Gala Roars Back

Lions Tigers & Bears, Southern California’s only true and accredited exotic animal sanctuary, has announced its 15th annual fundraising gala, Wild in the Country, to take place in San Diego’s picturesque countryside.

Their most significant fundraiser of the year raises vital funds for the sanctuary’s rescued animals and those still in need of rescue.

Wild in the Country Gala

Did you know that there are more tigers held in captivity in the United States than there are in the wild? Wildlife trafficking is the third largest illicit business in the world, only behind the drugs and weapons trades. Shocking facts like these underscore the urgent need for initiatives like Wild in the Country.

“We are calling all compassionate individuals to join us in supporting this vital cause,” says Bobbi Brink, Founder and CEO of Lions Tigers & Bears. “Together, we can put an end to the suffering of these magnificent animals.”

Enjoy an afternoon of fun and excitement featuring a live auction hosted by celebrity auctioneer Sean Kelly of the hit TV show Storage Hunters.

You’ll also have the opportunity to participate in a silent auction, indulge in fine cuisine, savor craft beverages, enjoy live entertainment, and much more!

“Your presence at Wild in the Country will truly make a difference for animals in need,” adds Brink. “Be a champion for animals in need by reserving your spot today.”
