2026 An Evening of Advocacy
Thursday, September 24, 2026
Seattle Program Center
Reception 6-7pm | Panel & Discussion 7-9pm
Since 2019, The Mountaineers has gathered annually at An Evening of Advocacy to raise awareness and funds for our donor-supported Conservation and Advocacy program. Your support is the bedrock of this vital work, enabling us to undertake ambitious new initiatives and respond swiftly to emerging threats. Each year, we center the event around a pressing conservation issue and invite leaders and advocates to engage in insightful discussion to broaden knowledge, support advocacy, and elevate solutions. Funds raised through An Evening of Advocacy ticket sales, sponsorships, and donations support our advocacy efforts to conserve the natural world for future generations.
Each September, we invite you to gather with fellow advocates and raise your voice for the places we cherish, so future generations of Mountaineers can continue to enjoy the wonders of nature across the Pacific Northwest and beyond.
To support our conservation and advocacy work any time of year, please consider a 100% tax-deductible donation.
