Guthrie Chapter of Ducks Unlimited (DU) is holding its annual fundraising event on Saturday, November 1, 2014 at the American Legion. Doors open at 6 p.m.
Each year, local Ducks Unlimited chapters hold grassroots fundraising events to support the organization’s habitat conservation mission. Recent successful Oklahoma projects through DU’s Southern Prairies and Playas Initiative include work on Drummond Flats and Waurika wildlife management areas (WMAs). DU and the Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Conservation made improvements on these public habitats to provide critical stopover and refueling habitats for waterfowl and improve public hunting opportunities.
Ticket prices are as follows: $45 (single), $55 (couple), $15 Greenwings (ages 17 and under), $260 (sponsor – 1), $275 (sponsor couple), $210 Corporate Table and includes dinner and a 1-year membership to Ducks Unlimited. There will be raffles for various hunting products and equipment, as well as a silent and live auction.
If you are interested in attending the fundraising event and dinner or becoming a corporate sponsor, please contact Dennis Ochs at (405) 826-2052. You can also purchase your tickets online at http://www.ducks.org/oklahoma/events or they can be purchased at the door. If you purchase your tickets by October 25 you will be entered into an early bird raffle drawing!
