Welcome Supporters
You may notice that this year’s fundraiser looks a little different. We are grateful for nine wonderful years of Evening at the Ruins, and your generosity has meant so much to our organization and to the students, families, and community members who have discovered the Napa River through our programs.
This year marks a meaningful time of transition. During 2026, we will break ground and build the Napa River Ecology Center. In the future, our fundraising dinners will take place at our own site along the river, but during construction, we askfor your support through our online auction, special “buy-a-spot” experiences, and unique experiential fundraisers with our wonderful partners.
Your support this year is more important than ever. As we expand our education, conservation, and nature wellness programs, and as we take this exciting step toward a permanent home for environmental learning, you are leaving a lasting impact on our youth, our community, and our environment. We thank you for your continued support.
Online auction dates are: September 1 – 17, 2026.
