Kick off Father’s Day weekend by teeing off in our Captain’s Choice Golf Tournament! It is more than just a great day on the course, it’s a chance to make a real, tangible difference for wildlife that have no one else to turn to. Every swing you take helps provide lifesaving medical care, rehabilitation, and a second chance at freedom for the 2,800 wild animals we treat each year, from majestic Bald Eagles and elusive Bobcats to vulnerable songbirds, turtles, bats, and even endangered and threatened species. Your participation directly supports the food, medical supplies, habitat enclosures, and expert care these animals need to heal and return to the wild where they belong. Join us for a fun, meaningful day that drives real impact because when you play, they get a second chance!
Special appearance by Miss Virginia who will also sing the National Anthem!
