As a nonprofit, our volunteers are the lifeblood of our organization. Volunteers help in a multitude of areas, including education, rehabilitation, wildlife transportation, construction and maintenance, and more!

We wouldn't be able to take in the 3,600+ animals we do each year, educate the 10,000+ people we see for programs, or care for our ambassadors without the committed people who give their time each week. 

Please join us for an extraordinary evening dedicated to supporting the vital mission and programs of Blue Ridge Wildlife Center!

This is our biggest fundraising event of the year—help us make it a huge success through your support of the essential work we do.

You and your guests will enjoy cocktails while visiting with our ambassador animals, a Six Star meal prepared by Chef Kim James, live music, and a live auction filled with wild adventures! Please show your support of the Center through a sponsorship and bring your colleagues and friends out for a spectacular evening.

This event sells out quickly!

Join us on Fridays for Talon Talks! Guests will be able to observe staff training and working with the raptors while engaging in informational discussions about their personal stories, natural history, and conservation.

Presentations may occur with staff either inside or outside of the enclosures, depending on the comfort and training of each animal.

Tickets are only $5. Children 4 and under are free and do not require a ticket.
