Get ready to kick off a brand-new tradition that’s all about heart, dedication, and the wild spirit of giving! Clare Witcomb Day is our way of celebrating an extraordinary woman whose passion and commitment helped shape both Beartooth Nature Center and the Yellowstone Wildlife Sanctuary. Clare was a guiding force through the Sanctuary’s transformation—and now, her legacy is paving the way for generations to come!
On this special day, we’ll honor Clare’s incredible impact as a volunteer, donor, and leader—while shining a spotlight on the people and animals that make YWS so special. Think of it as a celebration of passion, purpose, and community power!
But that’s not all! Clare Witcomb Day is also our biggest fundraiser of the year—and it’s all about the Sanctuary: its amazing wildlife, vibrant gardens, and the dedicated staff who care for them every single day. We’re inviting you—our community near and far—to celebrate simply and meaningfully. Join us for a series of joyful, inspiring events that bring people together, support wildlife, and honor Clare’s legacy.BR>
Canid Coffee Time
Start your day early with a special pre-opening coffee and pastry gathering. Get an exclusive morning tour of the animals, enjoy some VIP elbow-rubbing, and connect with fellow early-bird supporters who care deeply about wildlife. A limited-ticket experience designed to fuel your day—and the Sanctuary!
Time: 9:00-10:00 AM, Saturday, June 7BR>
Garden Party Luncheon
Channel your inner garden glam with a delightful midday event in our beautiful picnic area. This luncheon will feature delicious fare (vegetarian and meat-loving options), a bit of friendly fun with a hat contest, and a chance to mingle with VIPs—including our board members and Red Lodge Mayor Dave Westwood, who has been a great champion for the Sanctuary.
Time: 12:30PM-1:30PM, Saturday, June 7
Twilight Tour and Social
As the sun sets, the Sanctuary comes alive in a different way. Join us for an exclusive evening filled with music, meaningful connections, and maybe even a few wolf howls in the distance. We’ll honor those who helped build YWS and take a look at the Sanctuary’s vision for the future.
Time: 4:30PM-6:30PM, Saturday, June 7
