Proceeds from the event will help Interior Wildlife to fundraise for a portable wildlife x-ray machine, first of its kind in the Okanagan.
Co-founder and veterinary technician Eva Hartmann said she expects a “significant improvement of wildlife care once
we are able to afford [a portable X-ray machine].”
Doors for the fundraiser are open at 5:30 p.m. and the films start at 6:00 p.m.
Tickets are $30 and are available at the Rotary Centre for the Arts in Kelowna as well as online at rotarycentreforthearts.com.
