20th Annual SCI Fundraiser Dinner
Event Information
Description
Safari Club International 20th Annual Banquet & Fundraiser
NOTICE:Hello all fundraiser & banquet attendees! We are very excited about the show we have put together for you this year. It is, by far, the best show we have put together in our history with more firearms, more vendors/outfitters, more raffle items, and more auction items than in the past. It is truly going to be an event not to miss.
As you know, the Governor of Michigan issued an order today banning all gatherings of 250 people or more. That, of course, effects our event. Your Lansing Area Chapter Board is working at determining non-cancelation options available that includes possible postponement to another date.
Along with the 400 attendees, we have staff for 28 vendors/outfitters from all over the country and world, Hotels, flights, caterers, suppliers, AV Tech, security, etc. that are affected by any change. Any change also creates many questions, phone calls, texts, and emails.
We do not have all the answers yet, as we are working as fast as we can to respond to the new order. We are working hard to provide you with new information in the next few days about the event and how we will get together to celebrate the Hunt and the mission of SCI. In the meantime, our online auction is running for now and you can click on the red chapter website button below and then on the blue button on the website to review and plan on what items to bid on.

Your ticket includes value, excitement, and many chances of winning during this two-day event! We will have Outfitters from around the world for you to visit with, storytelling, great food, raffles, and auctions to support the Hunter Advocacy, Conservation, Education, and Humanitarian mission of Safari Club International and the Lansing Area Chapter.

Saturday continues with meeting Outfitters, a silent auction, the live auction, many merchandise, gear, and equipment raffles, and a delectable Buffet dinner featuring carved Prime Rib, Roasted Chicken and herb garlic butter baked Salmon followed by 17-time National Award winning pies from Sweetie-licious Bakery Café. Raffle tickets will be available for purchase at the door.
Friday and Saturday nights will feature an open beer (Labatt's Blue Light, Killian's Irish Red, Stella Artois, & Leinenkugel's Shandy), wine, and soft drink bar. Both nights will have a cash bar for liquor.
Each paid admission ticket will receive a new commemorative glass from the event and an entry into multiple Grizzly cooler drawings (with one winner drawn for every 50 tickets sold).
Friday's and Saturday's Live Auctions will have many hunts, fishing trips, adventure trips, and high-end hunting equipment (approx. 35 Fri., 70 Sat.). There will be silent auctions and raffle tables with exciting items valued over $35,000.
