- Raise funds to Stop 3009 Vulcan Quarry!
Help Preserve Our Hill Country Environment! Join us for our sixth annual fundraising dinner and auction—at the newest addition to Natural Bridge Caverns: the captivating Hidden Wonders Cavern. The evening is dedicated to raising funds for the continued legal fight against the proposed Vulcan quarry and bringing awareness to the negative impacts of poorly supervised aggregate mining and quarry operations in Texas, especially the impact mining will have over the Edwards Aquifer recharge zone.
Guests will descend into the Hidden Wonders Cavern, arriving in the subterranean ballroom, where local libations will be served. Silent auction items, a gun raffle, and our ever-popular wine pull will be available for bidding as we toast everything that we love about our one-of-a-kind Hill Country—all while supporting a great cause! You will dine amongst the karst formations on a savory choice of entrees and accompaniments, starting with a Lone Star salad with minted cilantro vinaigrette, and finishing with a decadent chocolate torte dessert. A vegan/vegetarian option provided upon request. Get your tickets today!
All proceeds will support legal counsel and scientific experts needed for the ongoing battle against the proposed Vulcan quarry and TCEQ. Comfortable attire. Dress for the weather. Temperatures in the caverns are around 70 degrees with high humidity. Get your tickets today!
