Tucson-based nonprofit organization celebrates 2nd Annual Conservation Benefit from 6-10 pm on May 15, 2024
TUCSON, AZ (May 8, 2024) – The Sonoran Institute announces its 2nd Annual Conservation Benefit Party – The Sonoran Soirée. This premier event celebrates our conservation efforts to unite the Colorado River community to connect with natural resources that nourish and sustain us. The Sonoran Soirée will take place May 15 on the Playground Bar & Lounge rooftop from 6 p.m. to 10 p.m. with DJ Xochique. The public is invited to attend and enjoy an evening of dancing, networking, food, and drink for conservation.
Highlighting Conservation Efforts - This year’s Sonoran Soirée aims to raise awareness and support for Sonoran Institute's ongoing conservation efforts, focusing on preserving the Colorado River's unique river ecologies and its tributaries. This celebration comes at the heels of American Rivers naming The Santa Cruz River one of the Most Endangered Rivers. During the event, there will be an opportunity to sign letters of support to make this endangered river an Urban National Wildlife Refuge while helping to fund this and other initiatives in the Colorado River Basin. The Sonoran Institute works tirelessly to protect wildlife habitats, promote sustainable water management, and foster resilient communities. Guests will learn more about these initiatives and how they can contribute to conserving and preserving this precious landscape.
A Night of Celebration and Culture - In addition to highlighting conservation efforts, the Sonoran Soirée will celebrate the rich cultural heritage of the Sonoran Desert region. The evening will feature a live DJ, cuisine prepared by local chefs, and delicious mixed drinks with regionally inspired flavor profiles. The Sonoran Soirée allows community members, conservationists, and supporters to come together, share ideas, and forge meaningful connections. Guests will be encouraged to engage with one another and become active participants in shaping the future of conservation in the region.
The Sonoran Soirée promises to be a night to remember, filled with inspiration, entertainment, and a shared commitment to conservation. Tickets for the event are now available on the Sonoran Institute’s website sonoraninstitute.org/events/Sonoran-Soiree-acb/ and Sonoran Sustainer discounts are available. Tickets are limited, so be sure to secure your spot today!
