Mark your calendars for the Friends of Saguaro National Park's19th Annual Dinner and Auction to benefit the park, coming up on October 22.

This year's event will celebrate the amazing contributions of the group's loyal donors, committed volunteers, and support from our community partnerships- who help fulfill the nonprofit's mission every day to help protect the wildlife habitat, preserve cultural resources, promote environmental education, improve recreational trails, enhance visitor experiences and build environmental stewardship at Saguaro National Park.

The dedicated Park Service employees at Saguaro do a remarkable job each and every day and the Friends of Saguaro National Park's Board of Directors is extending an invitation to all of them to attend this celebration as the organization's guests. You can help, and extend your own thanks to Saguaro employees, by providing FOSNP a special tax-deductible gift to assist in defraying the cost for these employee meals.

The dinner will be held at the Cottonwood Grove at Tanque Verde Ranch on Sunday, October 22. Tickets are just $100 per person; reserve your place(s) by returning the RSVP card with your payment by October 13th.
