21st Annual Conservancy Ball

 Saturday, April 9, 2016 | 6:00 PM - 11:00 PM
Avalon Casino Ballroom, Catalina Island 

This year’s theme – IMAGINE CATALINA – highlights the Conservancy’s strategic vision to secure the ecological health of the Island while enhancing the ability for you and future generations to enjoy its beauty and tranquility.

At this year’s Conservancy Ball, we will launch the IMAGINE CATALINA capital campaign and honor the 13 years of service by Dr. Ann Muscat, president and CEO of the Conservancy, as she looks toward her retirement at the end of 2016. IMAGINE CATALINA builds on the successful work of the Conservancy’s past four decades and “imagines” how this vitally important organization can evolve and advance its expertise, experience and resources to serve not only this beautiful Island, but a greater good that goes beyond its shores.
