Tinsel & Trunks will also feature:

  • A silent auction featuring unique items and experiences
  • Elephant-themed merch for the perfect gifts and stocking stuffers
  • A themed photo booth to capture silly fun and memories from the night

This event promises to be an unforgettable evening of entertainment, community connection, and meaningful impact.

All proceeds from Tinsel and Trunks will benefit Bring The Elephant Home’s Conservation Research Collaborative, which partners with scientists and local communities across African countries to develop real solutions for protecting wild elephants while promoting human-elephant coexistence. Critically, this work ensures that research directly addresses community priorities and strengthens local decision-making—putting conservation power in the hands of those who live alongside elephants every day.

 

 

Sponsorship 

We are seeking partners who share our vision for a world where elephants and people coexist in harmony. 

We invite you to support this mission in one of two ways:

  1. Event Sponsorship: We offer sponsorship opportunities ranging from $250 to $5,000, each providing meaningful visibility and recognition. Detailed sponsorship tiers and benefits are outlined on the attached page.
  2. Silent Auction Donation: Contributing an item, service, or experience to our silent auction provides another excellent way to support elephant conservation while gaining exposure to our engaged audience of conservation supporters.

Your partnership, whether through sponsorship or an auction donation, will directly fund collaborative research that empowers communities, protects elephant populations, and creates sustainable solutions for coexistence. Together, we can ensure a future where both elephants and people thrive.
