WOW 2025: October 18th 5:00-9:00

Join us for our 15th Anniversary Wings Over the Wetland (WOW) fundraising event on Saturday, October 18, 2025, from 5:00 PM to 9:00 PM at the John Bunker Sands Wetland Center in Combine, Texas—just 25 miles southeast of Dallas. 

This milestone year, we’re honoring 15 years of innovation, conservation, and education at one of the largest man-made wetlands in the U.S., a powerhouse that filters up to 90 million gallons of water daily for North Texas while nurturing a thriving ecosystem.

This year’s WOW event is a vibrant celebration of our pioneering spirit and vision for a sustainable future. Enjoy a spectacular evening featuring:

• A Buffet from local chef, showcasing the flavors of Texas.
• Live music to set the mood under the stars.
• Exclusive experiences, including a live bird show and guided sunset boardwalk tours through our breathtaking 2,000-acre wetland.
• Innovative showcases, highlighting cutting-edge ecological research and sustainable design to inspire the next generation.

For 15 years, the Wetland Center has educated over 60,000 students and 30,000 adults, fostering conservation literacy and protecting vital habitats for over 288 bird species, including nesting bald eagles. Your support at WOW 2025 will fuel our mission to advance water reuse, wildlife conservation, and hands-on STEM education aligned with the 2024-2025 Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS).
