Highlights from 2019’s Flock ‘n’ Roll Benefit for the Birds
The benefit returned in November 2019 with a vintage feel and a classy purpose- helping the wild patients here at Tri-State. Guests enjoyed the sounds of the 50’s, silent ‘hawktion’ items, a fabulous meal, and much more. Thanks to our donors, volunteers, sponsors, guests, and bidders, we raised over $98,000 for the birds. Thank you to everyone who helped make 2019’s Benefit for the Birds one of the best ever!
