We’re thrilled to announce that on September 12, 2026, we’ll be hosting our 7th Annual Butterfly Ball! We can’t wait to build on last year’s success and continue supporting our local State Parks and the western monarch butterfly.
Join us for a night of dancing and entertainment, informative presentations, dinner by Popolo, a silent auction, and an awards ceremony.
Last year, we honored local young leaders and community champions making a difference in conservation. Read about last year’s winners and submit your 2026 nominations here.
Our Goal
This year, we hope to raise $50,000 to ensure 2027 educational programs continue to thrive in Central Coast State Parks, including:
Education Program Support: Free school field trips, guided hikes, school supplies, and volunteer program support to inspire the next generation of environmental stewards.
Community Engagement: Local events, internship programs, and Nature Stores that deepen connections between the community and our environment.
Park Maintenance & Signage: Museum exhibit upgrades and trail signage to improve access and visitor experience.
Western Monarch Conservation Programs: Support for Monarch Trailer staffing, updated brochures, and educational signage to help protect the western monarch butterfly.
Early bird tickets go on sale Sunday, March 1. Stay tuned for more information!
