Help secure the next 25 Years of Wildlife, Education & Conservation
Ojai Raptor Center is turning 25! After a quarter century of extraordinary leadership, our founder and Executive Director, Kimberly Stroud, will be stepping down. This milestone is both a moment to celebrate how far we have come, growing from a small grassroots effort into a leading center for wildlife rehabilitation, education, and conservation, and to look towards the future. We invite you to join us at our 25th Anniversary Benefit where we will honor Kim's legacy, celebrate our past, and raise funds to secure the next 25 years of wildlife rehabilitation, conservation, and environmental education.
Pull On Your Boots and Celebrate a Legacy.
Join us for Boots & Talons: 25th Anniversary Benefit—a one-of-a-kind rustic outdoor celebration honoring Kim’s legacy, and securing the future as we raise the vital funds needed to carry our mission forward for the next 25 years.
Guests will enjoy:
- Live music by Grammy Award–winning artist Todd Hannigan
- Local wine and food, heavy appetizers, and small bites
- Two bars with specialty cocktails
- A silent auction and paddle raise
- “ORC Through the Years” showcase reflecting on 25 years of impact
- A "Rustic Chic" dress code (or wear what you like—boots are optional)
Early Bird Special: $150 through October 20, 2025.

Together, we can ensure Ojai Raptor Center continues to soar into its next chapter—and beyond!
