The Steve Irwin Gala Dinner celebrates everything the original Wildlife Warrior was most passionate about –
Family, Conservation and Fun
On May 6, we invite you to join Terri, Bindi and Robert Irwin for the exclusive event in Los Angeles. Guests are treated to a scrumptious three-course dinner and a night of wild fun and dancing with roving animals, entertainers, guest speakers and a live auction. In a khaki-decked ballroom, surrounded by fellow Wildlife Warriors, it’s a remarkable night honouring one extraordinary man.
Be part of our Wildlife Warriors family as we follow Steve’s legacy.
