Past Events
Highlights from previous events and activities
A look back at the events, fundraisers, and community gatherings that have helped support our wildlife rescue mission over the years.
Creeptastic Wildlife Experience
October 2019
Our FUNdraiser team transformed the Center into a semi-creepy wildlife experience — inspired by Sulphur Creek’s “Unhaunted House” event. Guests toured themed rooms featuring ambassador animals, held snakes in the reptile room, had their palms read by a fortune-telling raccoon, and took photos with Darth Vader and his stormtroopers.
Annual Open House & Baby Bird Shower
Held annually in early April
Every spring before rescue season begins, we open our facility for tours and our popular Baby Bird Shower. Visitors bring supplies to help care for orphaned wildlife, meet our education animals, and enjoy children’s activities. This tradition brings the community together to support our mission.
See our Open House page for details on the next event.
Giving Tuesday

SWRR participates in North State’s Giving Tuesday, powered by the Shasta Regional Community Foundation. This annual online fundraiser takes place the Tuesday after Thanksgiving. Donations go directly to building enclosures and supporting rehabilitation programs.

Salmon Festival
Third Saturday in October — Annual
SWRR maintains a booth at the Salmon Festival at the Coleman Fish Hatchery every year. Our volunteers are available to answer questions about wildlife rescue and our programs.
A Christmas Carol Fundraiser
December 2019
A special theatrical fundraiser featuring a performance of A Christmas Carol with pre-show beverages and hors d’oeuvres. Proceeds benefited SWRR’s wildlife rehabilitation programs.
