Wild Night for Wildlife has earned the reputation of being the “fun fundraiser.” The benefit was held alongside the historic Old Ice Pond, where guests explored the Butterfly Garden and lovely grounds of the nature preserve.

Festivities included live music performed by NOIZ; mouth-watering hors d’oeuvres prepared by Justin’s Chop Shop; local wine from Pellegrini Vineyards and beer from Long Island Farm Brewery; signature cocktails from Hoot Owl Boozy Teas as well as libations from Adamas Pisco Brandy, Championz Gin, Southern Glazer Spirits, Taconic Distillery and Tito’s Vodka as well as live, silent and chance auctions with live auctioneer Bill Ritter of Channel 7 Eyewitness News.
