Silent auction one of 35th Gala highlights
AT THE TRAIL
Our 35th Anniversary Gala is just days away, and The Cibolo is buzzing with excitement.
This celebration features live music, food and drinks, and a silent auction for guests to enjoy.
The auction is a major fundraiser for our organization, and bidders can take home unique prizes and know that they gave to a good cause. This year’s auction is online and will be accessible to everyone, even if you are not able to attend.
Most of our auction items come from generous local donors, and with such a variety, there’s something for everyone. Bid on pieces like a Hobo brand leather handbag and a one-of-a-kind necklace by Ray Brigham, retired James Avery jewelry designer. Get cozy for fall with an O.W. Lee firepit, a mesquite double rocking chair handcrafted by our friends Shane and Grace Weisberg, or a wine basket with a collection of wines, a set of glasses, and a decanter.
Foodies can bid on a cooking class with Chef Bettina Tolin or a private dinner experience at historic Herff House by Chef Robert Kennon. Enjoy a day out with friends with rounds of golf for 4 at The Quarry Golf Course, Canyon Springs Golf Club, The Club at Sonterra, or Tapatio Springs Hill Country Resort.
We will also have several unique trips to vacation spots around the world, or you can enjoy a nearby staycation and dinner at the Hotel Giles in Comfort. Pet lovers may be interested in a set of full dog groomings or a 7-week-old male Labradoodle puppy.
Proceeds from this event help support our education, conservation, and community programs. If you are interested in giving more directly, our Giving Tree will also be available.
The Giving Tree contains items needed from departments at The Cibolo, like tools for the teaching garden, a trail camera to help with wildlife monitoring, a variety of supplies, and equipment for The Nest preschool. Giving Tree items will be clearly labeled on our auction website.
We are grateful for the overwhelming support we’ve received from everyone over the last 35 years, and we hope to continue our work teaching the love of nature and protecting vital resources for many more years.
