Spring Benefit: Celebrating Birds and Blooms

Join us on Sunday, May 18 to support and celebrate the Theodore Roosevelt Sanctuary!

The Theodore Roosevelt Sanctuary and Audubon Center is excited to present our annual spring benefit: A Celebration of Birds and Blooms! We are thrilled to gather for fun and friendship to benefit nature’s feathered wonders.

For people to thrive, habitats must blossom. For birds to survive, their habitats must be preserved. We are proud to preserve the integrity of our center’s historical significance, while simultaneously implementing cutting-edge conservation initiatives to protect thousands of acres of diverse habitat across Connecticut and New York. From the coasts to forests to cities to prairies, our work to protect critical native habitats for birds that are in decline is more urgent than ever.

Join us for cocktails, light fare, a Little Italy station, and live music. Sip on our signature cocktail, enjoy the beauty of Oyster Bay, and celebrate the Theodore Roosevelt Sanctuary and Audubon Center.

Please join us to support the protection of birds and their habitats. Purchase your ticket online today.
