Funds raised at the Gala keep Carpenter Nature Center open & free to the public, while protecting wildlife habitat in both Minnesota and Wisconsin, and supporting our naturalists as they work to provide educational opportunities to the community.

This year we are hosting an in-person event with limited attendance. Tickets for the event and dinner start at $110. Unable to attend in person? You can still support Carpenter by participating in the Online Auction, which opens on September 1 for bidding.
