Turpentine Creek Wildlife Refuge (TCWR) commemorates its 33rd anniversary by hosting Sanctuary Soiree at the Park. Held at the historic Basin Park Hotel in Eureka Springs, Arkansas, this milestone event is the perfect backdrop for President and Founder Tanya Smith to introduce our newly expanded mission statement and refreshed logo, representing our evolving role in wild animal rescue and advocacy.
The evening will also feature a powerful new video and provide a special opportunity for committed donors and guests to connect with TCWR staff and fellow advocates. Together, the Refuge looks forward to a new era of compassion, collaboration, and commitment to wildlife.
Formerly known as Cats at the Castle and Feasts with the Beast, this annual celebration has been a cherished tradition for supporters of TCWR. The event has transformed from an intimate gathering into a dynamic showcase of the Refuge’s growth and impact. Past celebrations have included live music, silent and live auctions, and heartfelt stories of the animals who inspire the mission behind TCWR.
While this year’s Sanctuary Soiree at the Park is an exclusive event honoring our most dedicated donors and sponsors, we invite you to become part of the Turpentine Creek Wildlife Refuge community and help pave the way for future celebrations. Whether through a donation, a visit, or by spreading the word, your support plays a vital role in our mission to rescue and protect exotic wildlife in need. With your help, we can continue to grow, evolve, and create more opportunities for involvement.
Join us on this journey, and who knows? You might find yourself at next year’s celebration, standing shoulder to shoulder with fellow advocates who share your passion for making a difference.
