2021-08-03 17:00 - 20:00 | Tipsy Turtle Restuarant, 1223 Periwinkle Way, Sanibel, FL, 33957, United States
Join the Clinic for the Rehabilitation of Wildlife (CROW) at the Tipsy Turtle Restaurant and Back Bar on Tuesday, August 3 from 5pm to 8pm for a family friendly night of amazing food in support of native and migratory wildlife!

As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, CROW relies on donations from the community, funds raised through events, admission to its Visitor Education Center and foundational grants to treat thousands of animals admitted to its hospital each year.
Want to learn more about CROW? Check out its Visitor Education Center located at 3883 Sanibel Captiva Road. The Center is open Monday through Saturday from 10am-4pm. More information can be found online at www.CROWClinic.org.
