Cupid’s Croc-tail Gala 2025

Our 1st annual gala raised $11,500BZ for our local conservation efforts through ticket sales and auction items. This year we had 85 guests at Sirenian Bay. Guests were greeted by Miss Earth Destiny Wagner, and the current Miss Earth Belize Morgan Miles. Troy Lillie from Discovery Show’s Lost Monster Files also came to support the CRC and mingle with guests. After a delicious dinner with live music, the auction kicked off with professional auctioneer Bob Davis from Dubuque, Iowa, United States. 

CRC would like to give a huge shout out to Lynn Upham who put a lot of time and effort in assisting the CRC, creating a very successful gala. We would also like to thank Manuela Rijkse for her assistance.
