The Wyland Foundation invites you to join us in supporting our mission to inspire lifelong stewardship of our oceans, lakes, rivers, streams, and wetlands by donating auction items, gift certificates, and gift baskets to our 2024 gala. This year’s event will be hosted at the Vans Corporate Headquarters & Event Center, Costa Mesa, CA, by our partner Vans.

Since 1993, the Wyland Foundation has been at the forefront of environmental education and awareness, using art and science to inspire communities across the nation to take action to protect our planet. Our educational outreach and programs for students from Kindergarten through 12th grade, including the award-winning Clean Water Mobile Learning Center, National Classroom Mural and Art Challenge, National Mayor's Challenge for Water Conservation, Earth Month Heroes program, our annual Earth Month partnership with KCBS TV, and many more, reach over well one million people each year.

We are committed to continuing our mission, but we cannot do it without the support of our donors. Your support can come in many ways, including a donation for our silent or live auction, a monetary contribution, corporate sponsorship, or the purchase of event tickets. As a donor, you will receive publicity prior to and during the event, and all donations will be promoted each month to over 100,000 Wyland Foundation supporters. By contributing to our gala, you'll not only help us reach our fundraising goal of $300,000, but you'll also be supporting a cause that is critical to the health of our planet and future generations.
