The Key West Wildlife Center’s annual fundraiser, “It’s for the Birds,” is set for Sunday, Feb. 22, from 3 to 6 p.m., at the Key West Garden Club, located at the historic Fort West Martello, 1100 Atlantic Blvd, Key West.
The event includes food, drinks, live music, a wine wall, plus silent and live auctions.
Each year, the wildlife center responds to more than 1,500 rescue calls, providing urgent medical care, rehabilitation and — whenever possible — release back into the wild. Rescue services are available 24 hours a day, seven days a week. The center’s work is funded entirely through donations and grants.
