Get your tickets for Saturday, March 14, when the Indian River Lagoon becomes the backdrop for Mangroves, Moonlight & Milan, the Environmental Learning Center’s annual gala, from 6 to 9 pm at the Schidel Pavilion.
Candlelight, water, music, and Italian style set the tone for a night. The look is Milan after dark — sleek, unfussy, unmistakably glamorous. This is an evening designed to be enjoyed slowly.
One of the most sought-after events of the season, single VIP tickets begin at $500, and the evening earns it! Secure your ticket here.
For nearly four decades, the Environmental Learning Center has been the force behind how this community comes to know the Indian River Lagoon, bringing thousands of students each year into the mangroves, onto the water, and into hands-on science through field trips, camps, and teacher training.
Your hosts are:
Rich & Deborah Brennan
Carla Friedman & Gary Frazier
Nancy & Chris Gotfredson
Carol & Robert Lincoln
Jane Smalley & Jeff Quattry
Jery & Jacqueline Storch
Gregg & Nancy Wechsler
School District Superintendent Dr. David Moore serves as keynote speaker. Live and silent auctions support the programs, boats, staff, and 64-acre campus that make the ELC one of Indian River County’s most essential institutions.
