May  5, 2011 (Alpine) --  Lions Tigers & Bears (LTB), San Diego's only big cat sanctuary, is once again hosting the "Wild in the Country" event on Saturday, May 21, 2011 from 2 p.m. until 6 p.m.to help raise awareness and funds for the plight against exotic and wild animals held in captivity.

 

The event will take place at the LTB facility at 24402 Martin Way, Alpine, CA 91901. Wild in the Country is LTB's signature event to raise funds that go to support the many big cats and other wild animals that have been adopted by LTB. The money raised through this annual event goes to pay for such services as veterinary needs, food, facility maintenance and future construction needs such as the bear enclosure.

 

"Without the support and funding from our members and sponsors we could not continue with the great work that is being conducted at the facility", said Bobbi Brink, Founder and Director of LTB. "But through the generous donations made by so many we are able to provide a high-quality of care to these rescued and abandoned animals that deserve more than what they were getting."  

  

 

This year's event will feature a silent auction and a live auction that includes items such as a Polar Bear Adventure, South African Photo Safari, Banff/Lake Louise Getaway, Hawaiian Holiday, deluxe Mammoth Mountain Vacation and much more. Items for the auction can be found at: http://www.lionstigersandbears.org/Events/wildinthecountry2011/wildinthecountry2011auctionitems.aspx.

 

The event will be catered by Phil's BBQ with music courtesy of Southern California's hottest dance band, Haute Chile. The band is sure to entertain guests of all ages with a spicy blend of  hits from the past to the present. Tickets can be purchased in advance for $95 for adults and $25 for children or a table of 10 for $850.  For more details and information visit Lions, Tigers and Bears website at www.lionstigersandbears.org.
