Wildlife in Crisis, one of Fairfield County's Wildlife Care Centers, will host its annual fundraiser on Sunday August 29th, from 4:00-7:00 p.m. at the Audubon Center in Greenwich, Connecticut.

At this year’s event, rehabilitated Great Horned Owls will be released as Wildlife in Crisis supporters look on. The evening’s event will include a wine reception, beer tasting, hors d’oeuvres and silent auction tables. The Owl release will conclude the evening. Admission to the annual fundraiser is $100.00 per person.

Wildlife in Crisis opened its doors to ailing wildlife 22 years ago, and remains dedicated to the rescue, rehabilitation and release of injured or orphaned indigenous wildlife.

Wildlife In Crisis receives over 15,000 phone calls regarding wildlife issues each year, and responds to each one, often counseling callers on the protocols of nature, and wildlife protection. Wildlife in Crisis is in constant need of support and donations, and welcomes inquiries from the public.
