WCE&CF FUNDRAISING EVENTS
The Wild Cat Education and Conservation Fund holds two fundraising events each year.
OUR ANNUAL FUNDRAISER is held in March in the South Bay. This event is an evening that includes a cocktail/wine hour with some of our ambassador cats and animals from Wild Things, a buffet dinner, a raffle, and silent and live auctions.
This year’s March fundraiser was a gala Caribbean party held at the Sheraton Palo Alto. Next year's
event will be held on Saturday, March 8th. Watch this page for more information.
Ticket cost is $125.

OUR ANNUAL OPEN HOUSE
is held in July. This event includes a tour of the WCE&CF compound, a luncheon with local wines, a raffle, a silent auction, and a cheetah run. It is the only time of the year that our compound is open to the public. Attendance is limited to 72 guests, and tickets sell out quickly.
Our 2012 OPEN HOUSE was held on Saturday, July 14th. The weather was perfect for a day of viewing the cats, eating good food, drinking the great wine provided by Ramazzotti Winery, mingling with the 72 guests and 27 volunteers. Kibibi beat Themba in our first "Cheetah Challenge".
Next year's Open House will be held on Saturday, July 13, 2013.

OTHER WILD CAT CONSERVATION EVENTS
For over 15 years we have been bringing our ambassador cats to fundraising events for wild cat conservation. Organizations that have benefited from the presence of these ambassadors include the Cheetah Conservation Fund,
Cheetah Conservation Botswana, the Small Cat Conservation Alliance, the Snow Leopard Conservancy, the De Wildt Cheetah and Wildlife Trust and Cheetah Outreach. Please read the NEWSPAPER ARTICLE about WCE&CF's participation in the Small Cat Conservation Alliance fundraiser.
Dr. Laurie Marker, Founder of the Cheetah Conservation Fund recently said the following:
"The Dicelys have been providing ambassador cheetahs at my fundraising events in the Western United States for the past 14 years. These ambassador cats have helped raise several hundred thousand dollars that have been donated for cheetah conservation. These ambassador cheetahs are of vital importance to the continued success of educating the public about the survival of an endangered species. Seeing a live cheetah has a larger impact on an audience than seeing a video on a flat screen. Through my presentation, with the aid of an ambassador cheetah, the audience begins to fully understand the plight of this animal in the wild." |
