Thank you for a successful Sonoran Stars!
Our 17th annual Sonoran Stars fundraiser was a big success! Through the generous support of attendees, sponsors, and auction donors, the Land Trust raised approximately $80,000 to support our land conservation mission.

Attendees at the event on April 28 enjoyed a fabulous dinner by Tonto Bar & Grill, a performance by Sons of the Pioneers and an uplifting owl release by Wild At Heart. We are tremendously grateful to the community of sponsors, guests, supporters and volunteers who make this event possible!
