“Don’t Stop Believin’ in CREW” is the theme for the 2017 CREW Land and Water Trust Concert & silent Eco-Auction on February 18, 2017. “The Journey song performed by Chain Reaction was a real crowd favorite at last year’s concert,” explains CREW executive director Brenda Brooks. “The title also reflects how critical community support is to our mission of preserving land and water resources in Lee and Collier county.

Chain Reaction will be back at this year’s Saturday evening concert at Riverside Park in Bonita Springs. This year, the talented group will recreate the greatest hits of both Journey and Styx. Brooks noted the February date will give attendees more time during the season to enjoy theirdrums silent eco-auction purchases which typically includes boat cruises, nature hikes, swamp walks and other unique natural experiences.

The concert gets underway at 5:30 p.m. and concludes at 9:00 p.m. Food and adult beverages will be available for purchase. Tickets are $15 in advance at crewtrust.org and $20 at the gate. VIP Cafe tickets at $75 each include dinner, drinks, and private table seating.

All concert proceeds will support CREW’s environmental education programs. So save the date and join us February 18th to make an impact in your local community. Plan ahead and get your tickets now!

CREW has had an incredible 25th Anniversary Year:

* Over 38,000 visitors to CREW Trails
* Two amazing fundraisers brought in over $30,000
* CREW volunteers donated 3,906 hours

January 2014, the CREW Trust began its 25th anniversary, celebrating 25 years of land conservation and environmental education in southwest Florida. From the kick-off event in frigid cold weather last January to our final #GivingTuesday end-of-year fundraising campaign running through December 31st, this celebration has had something for everyone – a wine & cheese social and a BBQ for CREW members, trail events that included a variety of guided walks about everything from mushrooms to mammals, a geocaching day, a horseback ride through Flint Pen Strand, a guided bicycle ride at Bird Rookery Swamp, a Vitamin N Walk for families, a fabulous 25th anniversary concert featuring the Sarah Hadeka Band and Deb & the Dynamics, and our first #GivingTuesday fundraiser. Thank you to every one of you who volunteered, participated, sponsored, supported, and gave to CREW during 2014, making our 25th anniversary such a success! We look forward to the next 25 years…
