Symphony in the Park a big success

Saturday October 17, 2009
24th Annual Fundraiser nets $42,000

 


In early September, Ijams held its largest fundraiser of the year, Symphony in the Park. It was a beautiful evening and a good time was had by all! 
    
Over 350 nature and music lovers gathered at Ijams on September 13, 2009, bidding on unique auction items, enjoying a delicious meal, and listening to music performed by the Knoxville Symphony Orchestra with special guests, Andrew Wentzel and Karen Nickell. 

A special thanks to Presenting Sponsors, Stephen and April Harris, plus other Symphony in the Park sponsors, auction donors and patrons. The event raised $42,000 for Ijams’ 175-acre wildlife sanctuary, environmental education programs and care of the non-releasable animals.
