PURPOSE OF THE EVENT
In 1990, over 400,000 gallons of crude oil spilled off the coast of Huntington Beach sickening over 4000 birds with oil. Sadly, only 15% of these birds survived despite treatment at a makeshift facility. Following the spill, we began taking steps toward providing a permanent facility capable of responding to the wildlife injured in future toxic spills and other interactions with people. Eight years later, our efforts paid off when the Wetlands & Wildlife Care Center opened in March of 1998. Since then, we have cared for well over 100,000 birds and mammals. They have come in with oiled feathers or fur, fishing line and hooks, shot with arrows and bullets, hit by cars, or orphaned, just to name a few.
The cost of our operation is approximately $60,000 per month. Our administrative staff and board of directors are supported by a compilation of trained wildlife technicians, certified volunteers, and veterinarians who come together as a team to provide quality care for the animals that arrive through our doors daily.
The Wetlands & Wildlife Care Center is only able to stay open through generous donations from the public. We count on our partnerships with organizations, businesses, and individuals like you.We value your consideration in attending and/or sponsoring our celebration of 50 years of licensed wildlife rehabilitation at the 2022 Wetlands & Wildlife Care Center 'Groovin' with the Gulls Gala' fundraising event!
