Go Bully for "Ding" - An Evening with Teddy Roosevelt

Go Bully for “Ding” will be uniquely themed around Theodore Roosevelt and held at Broadway Palm in Fort Myers on March 6, 2023. An evening full of dinner, drinks, entertainment, and fun. Our goal is to bring back relative-normalcy and joy to our supporters and community as we assist in rebuilding the Refuge, we all know and love. Support from "Ding" Darling Wildlife Society's annual fundraiser will go toward hurricane recovery at the Refuge, continuing its overall conservation work and educating our future environmental stewards. We hope you're ready to have some fun and support the Refuge!

Registration is $75/person. Reservations required.

Special thanks to our 2023 Sponsors.

A Message From Teddy Roosevelt

Supporting Hurricane Recovery Efforts at the J.N. "Ding" Darling National Wildlife Refuge

Hurricane Ian delivered a devastating blow on the islands and J. N. “Ding” Darling National Wildlife Refuge. Like the islands of Sanibel and Captiva, the Refuge sustained heavy damage. The mangroves, Refuge buildings, Wildlife Drive pavement, observation decks, intern housing, estuaries, and so much more need our help. Support from this event will go toward helping the Refuge recover from damages and allow it to continue its work of wildlife protection, habitat restoration, and conservation education.
