Bank of the Islands proudly returns as a Protector Sponsor for the Go Wild For Ding gala on Wednesday, Feb. 12, at the Sanibel Community House, 2173 Periwinkle Way.
“We are so proud to support this year’s gala with its ‘Dreaming of a White Pelican’ theme,” said Bank of the Islands President Robbie Roepstorff.
“People come from all over the world hoping to see the American White Pelicans as they migrate through ‘Ding’ Darling every year. Those of us who call Sanibel and Captiva home should never take this remarkable National Wildlife Refuge right in our backyard for granted,” said Roepstorff. “When you consider all the terrific programs the ‘Ding’ Darling Wildlife Society produces for the public annually and the beautiful Education Center, we are truly living with a national treasure.”
Go Wild for Ding is the major annual fundraising event of the “Ding” Darling Wildlife Society. Dinner, entertainment, auction offerings, and fun will highlight the evening. Proceeds from the event will benefit the conservation and education efforts at the J.N. “Ding” Darling National Wildlife Refuge. To learn more, visit www.dingdarlingsociety.org.
