Summer Soirée in the Swan

Our annual fundraising celebration

This year marks our fifth-annual Summer Soirée in the Swan, an event during which we celebrate this special place and raise funds for the programs, services, knowledge, and experiences that Swan Valley Connections continues to offer.

We encourage you to join us for hors d’oeuvres, cocktails, a silent auction, and live music along the Swan River, while we promote a deeper connection to our mission, vision, and values. Our 2023 Soiree event was a huge success and we hope to continue the momentum into this year’s event. See you in August!

Space is limited!

Our 2023 scholarship recipients

“My time in Swan Valley has taken a passion I already had and fueled the fire. I am excited to work in conservation, to work with my local community on wildlife management, and to learn everything I can about the ecology of my area. If I had the opportunity to directly thank the person who donated the funds for the scholarship, I would thank them for providing me with a life-changing opportunity.”

-Iris Smith, Wildlife in the West ‘23
