In celebration of World Wildlife Day, join SCWF staff, Board, wait partners, and friends for a fun evening celebrating our local wildlife right here in South Carolina! Our soirée will have delectable food by Scott Hall & Paella South, an open bar by Twist, live music by John Emil, and raffles to win great prizes!

Our state has many contributions to World Wildlife Day! We chose the following species to highlight for this event because they show our connections to the world and also highlight what is unique to our state: Spotted salamander, Venus flytrap, loggerhead sea turtle, prothonotary warbler, monarch butterfly, shortnose sturgeon, and bottlenose dolphin.

The spotted salamander is our state amphibian, and the only amphibian indigenous to the entire state of South Carolina. The rare Venus flytrap can only be found in the wild in the Carolinas and recently became our official state carnivorous plant! The loggerhead sea turtle migrates long distances to SC, nesting along our beaches and swimming all the way to their foraging grounds in the Sargasso Sea. Prothonotary warblers and monarch butterflies also travel impressively long distances, flying thousands of miles from their wintering grounds to South Carolina. Shortnose sturgeon are an endangered fish species that migrates through our rivers and coastal waters. Charismatic bottlenose dolphins glide through our coastal waters and can be found strand-feeding along our beaches, one of the only places in the world where you can see this spectacular feeding behavior.

All proceeds will support our conservation, advocacy, restoration, and education programs.

Thank you to our sponsors & WAIT partners!
