Victor Emanuel Conservation Award Celebration Honoring Chuck Sexton and Lisa O'Donnell

10/03/2026 11:00 AM - 02:00 PM CT

Description

We are thrilled to honor Dr. Chuck Sexton and Lisa O'Donnell at the 17th Annual Victor Emanuel Conservation Award Celebration.

Please join us on October 3, 2026 at the Junior League of Austin. Doors will open at 11am for a short reception, followed by a tasty lunch, a live auction, and an award ceremony for this year's honorees. Festivities will wrap up around 2pm. Dress code is casual chic, and we encourage you to wear your birdiest outfit and have fun with it!

Early-bird Pricing and Benefits

Early-bird pricing, $200 per individual ticket, is available until August 22nd. After that, tickets will be $250 per person until sales end on September 5th. All proceeds from the event go towards funding Travis Audubon's conservation work.

We’re also adding an early-bird benefit for folks who sponsor a table before August 22nd: an invitation to a local Travis Audubon bird excursion in May 2027.
