Project Refuge - Castoffs to Couture

The "Ding" Darling Wildlife Society is proud to announce the Project Refuge - Castoffs to Couture luncheon is returning for its third gathering (POSTPONED - now TBA - previously scheduled for Wednesday, April 2, 2025) to benefit conservation and education efforts at the J.N. “Ding” Darling National Wildlife Refuge.

​

For up to date information, view the Ding Darling Website

​

Members of our Guild can donate their time and talent decorating wood figures (or mannequins) to be used as table decorations for this fundraiser.  They are then auctioned off to the attendees and all proceeds go to Ding Darling Wildlife Refuge.  Working with our community is part of our mission.

​

So we invite you explore your creative side and use only upcycled/recycled materials to create a fashionista! Remember, you may not use any bird or animal products, no fur, leather, bone, feathers, etc.  This year's additional rules are that there may be no political statements and all entries must be family friendly.  

​

Mannequins remain available as they are requested and may be returned as they are completed. 

 

To get your FREE mannequin, please come to any Guild Meeting or contact Laura Adams at: laura@laurarichmond.net"
