The Conservation Foundation will be holding its Earth Day benefit dinner on April 23.

The program will be held from 5 to 9 p.m. at Bobak’s Signature Events in Woodridge.

This event is the foundation’s largest fundraiser of the year and features dining and conversation, a nature-inspired silent auction and live entertainment by Downtown Charlie Brown.

The dinner’s silent auction features more than 200 items donated by foundation members and local businesses and artists.

Items for the auction include antiques, garden supplies, artwork, plant material and a variety of one-of-a-kind experiences up for bidding by in-person guests as well as those not in attendance who wish to participate remotely.

Tickets for the evening are $130 per person before April 9 and $160 after. Table sponsorships are available for $7,500, $5,000, and $2,000. Sponsored tables include a table for eight as well as many other benefits.

Sponsors and guests may register online at www.theconservationfoundation.org/benefit.

Donations for the silent auction will be accepted through April 9.
