The Friends’ VINP Online Auction and Raffle is LIVE!!!

Each February, Friends of Virgin Islands National Park hosts an incredibly island elegant Gala at an exquisite villa.  It is truly one of the best events of the year on St. John and the evening filled with fun goes to a great cause:  The preservation and protection of St. John’s environmental and cultural resources.  Well, this year, due to event restrictions and the rise of Omicron that beautiful gala has gone virtual once again.  But, this way, all of YOU can play along in support of our beautiful park with the chance to win some amazing prizes!

So, I’m not going to get super into the AMAZING work that this incredible organization does.  But, Friends VINP just released their first ever Impact Report outlining the work that they do and some highlights from the past year.  The report is jam packed with GREAT information about the park and projects going on and filled with a lot of feel good stuff.  I encourage all of you to take a look at it when you have some free time to get up to date on the happenings with Caneel Bay, sea turtles, trail clearing, native plant restoration and more!
