The Refuge Association is hosting the 2025 National Wildlife Refuge Awards — A Virtual National Celebration of the Refuge System — on Tuesday, March 24, 2026, at 7:00 pm ET (6:00 pm CT / 5:00 pm MT / 4:00 pm PT).
RSVP link to share: https://refugeassociation.org/livestream
(When people RSVP, they receive the Zoom link and event reminders by email. They can opt in to stay on our email list, but otherwise won’t get ongoing messages from us.)
Friends groups and volunteers help make refuges welcoming, resilient, and loved. This livestream is a chance to show up for one another — to celebrate the Friends groups, volunteers, and refuge staff who keep refuges thriving. We are one Refuge System, and our movement is more powerful when we show up together.
If you’re able, would you share the RSVP link once this week, and then again as we get closer to March 24th?
To help lighten the lift, we created a short Friends Share Toolkit with ready-to-use social captions and a newsletter blurb you can drop into your next update.
Thank you so much for helping spread the word.
Together we are Refuge Strong,
Desirée Sorenson-Groves
President & CEO
National Wildlife Refuge Association
