Nevada City –The South Yuba River Citizens League (SYRCL) invites the community to Wild for the Yuba – a special Dinner & Auction Fundraiser – on Saturday June 8, 2024, from 6:00-9:30 pm at the beautiful grounds of the Schrammsberg Estate in Nevada City.
Wild for the Yuba is SYRCL’s party for the river, featuring a stunning array of silent and live auction items and experiences. This year’s prizes include round-trip flights, music festival passes, and adventures to Reno, San Francisco, and Tahoe. Many local businesses have shown their love for the Yuba by contributing merchandise and gift certificates to tours, shops, services, and restaurants.
This annual event is a fundraiser for SYRCL’s Environmentalist of the Year Scholarship, SYRCL’s Education Programs, and the summer programs striving to keep the river healthy and safe, such as River Ambassadors and the Yuba River Cleanup.
“We invite our members, volunteers, and the public to join us at Wild for the Yuba as we kick-off the opening of the summer river season,” says Aaron Zettler-Mann, SYRCL’s Executive Director. “So many people are learning about the beauty of our watershed, we must ensure our education and outreach programs can meet the public’s need for information on how to enjoy the Yuba safely. Every ticket and auction purchase supports SYRCL’s efforts to cultivate a new generation of Yuba Champions.”
Guests will be treated to appetizers, dinner, and dessert by A Family Affair Catering. Live music provided by Broken Compass Bluegrass will entertain guests throughout the evening. Based in northern California, Broken Compass Bluegrass includes Kyle Ledson, Django Ruckrich, Mei Lin Heirendt, and Sam Jacobs. All four are seasoned performers, multi-instrumentalists, songwriters, and singers and have established themselves as some of California’s most prominent up-and-coming youth. Broken Compass Bluegrass has already been recognized for their tight arrangements, tasteful playing, and distinguished songwriting. The band performs a mix of jamgrass, bluegrass, country, and Grateful Dead material, among numerous originals.
