The 18th Annual Magic Under the Mangroves gala held on March 3 raised a record $2.1 million net for programs to protect the water, land, wildlife and future of Southwest Florida.
More than 400 guests moseyed their way to the newly renovated Conservancy of Southwest Florida Nature Center for the American Southwest-themed event, “A River Runs Through It.” The Conservancy’s largest annual fundraiser, Magic Under the Mangroves, returned to an in-person gala this year featuring an outdoor reception followed by a silent auction, dinner, and live auction held inside a multiple-tented structure.
