Celebrating Our Wild Brothers & Sisters

– A Wildlife Gala & Fundraiser for MISSION: New Earth –

ALLENSPARK, CO  January 30, 2019 – Celebrating Our Wild Brothers & Sisters, a wildlife gala and fundraiser for MISSION: New Earth, will take place the evening of April 6, 2019, at the Estes Park High School, 1600 Manford Avenue in Estes Park, Colorado.

A silent auction, kicking off the evening of fun and entertainment, will begin at 6 p.m., followed by the Wildlife Gala at 7 p.m. and ending at 10 p.m.

Louise du Toit, coming from her home on the Greek Isle of Corfu, is the Gala’s featured vocalist and wildlife advocate.

Here’s what one individual had to say about Ms du Toit, “Her enchanting voice interprets each melody with a sweetness lifting one upward – soaring enraptured in Heaven where the celestial Choirs hush their singing to listen to this terrestrial Angelic voice.”
