Our Starry Night Gala is one month away! ✨🗓️

We chose this year's theme because the night sky has a way of reminding us of two things at once: how small we are, and how deeply connected every living thing on Earth is.

Long before humans ever reached for the stars, monarch butterflies were already using celestial navigation to navigate their own extraordinary journey. Inspired by the monarch's migration and the way Artemis II mission brought the world together this year, we are turning to the stars as inspiration. 🌙✨

Today is National Nonprofit Day, and we’re feeling nostalgic looking back at our growth as a nonprofit 🗓️

ECOLIFE Conservation started out in 2003 as “Eco-Life Foundation.” Our first ever fundraiser in 2005 took place in a cozy living room, but as we grew, so did our celebrations. We filled out larger and swankier venues and had great fun with themes including the Roaring 20s, Casablanca, African Safari, Enchanted Forest, and even a Virtual World Cruise during the pandemic! 🚢 At this year’s annual gala in October, we’ll be celebrating the people who’ve shown up for us over the years: the shining “stars” at our “Starry Night Gala.”

Which ECOLIFE gala themes do you remember? Did you have a favorite?
