10/15/2024 UPDATE: After being postponed, our Autumn Adventures Online Auction has been rescheduled and will now run from October 18th through 25th.
10/1/2024 UPDATE: As our state faces the devastating impacts of Hurricane Helene, Piedmont Wildlife Center has decided to postpone our Autumn Adventures Auction. During this challenging time, we're pausing our fundraising efforts to focus on supporting North Carolina's mountain communities.
We’ll share updates about the auction in the coming weeks. For now, our priority is helping our state recover.
