The South Fork Natural History Museum will host a July 8 Gala, “A Journey into the Wild,” at the museum from 6 to 10 p.m. Peter and Nejma Beard, Chris Ficsher and Alan Rabinowitz will be honored.
The evening is catered by Peter Ambrose, with guest auctioneer Ann Liguori. There will be a live auction featuring a visit to the Chelsea studio of Beard, an internationally-acclaimed artist, author and photographer. A print by Beard, “The Very Rare Trionyx Turtle from Lake Rudolf,” was created and donated for the benefit. Posters and postcards will be for sale at the event, with a limited edition of 100 copies.
An opportunity to join Fischer, founding chairman and expedition caption of Ocearch Brett McBride for a day trip aboard the organization’s 126-foot research vessel will also be up for auction at the SoFo benefit.
