Join us as we marvel at captivating magic performances!

We are thrilled to extend our warmest invitation to you for an extraordinary fundraiser and an unforgettable evening at Safari Nights! This year, we have the immense pleasure of commemorating not one, but two remarkable milestones: the 30th anniversary of Safari West and the 25th anniversary of the Safari West Wildlife Foundation. We sincerely hope you can join us as we celebrate these momentous achievements.

During the event, you will have the opportunity to engage in both a silent auction and a live auction, presenting exclusive items for bidding. Adding to the enchantment of the night, we are delighted to have the amazing Heather Rogers as our emcee, magician, and auctioneer, ensuring a truly magical experience.

Moreover, we will be honoring our local celebrity, KZST's Brent Farris, in recognition of his extraordinary dedication to wildlife conservation advocacy in local schools. His relentless efforts over the past two decades have left a profound impact on our community, and we are proud to celebrate his achievements.

Join us and marvel at captivating magic performances, and indulge in delectable appetizers, exquisite wines, and a delightful selection of beverages. Our delectable dinner will be the perfect occasion to raise our glasses in commemoration of Safari West's 30th Anniversary and the Safari West Wildlife Foundation's 25th Anniversary. It's a time to rejoice and cherish the remarkable milestones we have achieved together.

And that's not all! Get ready to groove, sing along, and dance as the premier rock 'n' roll band, WonderBread5, takes the stage, ensuring an evening filled with laughter and joy.

We genuinely look forward to seeing you at Safari Nights and sharing this special evening with you.

Sponsors’ donations are the lifeblood of our often far-reaching educational programs. This includes our flagship program, Safari West LIVE, a magical, live-stream interactive program that brings an educational safari experience to children confined to hospitals across the country. With the help of sponsors and donors, Safari West LIVE reached thousands of future adventurers, and there are many more children to engage, educate, and inspire.

We have repeatedly seen first-hand how this program can – and has – literally changed a child’s life.
