If you know the feeling of finding one of Florida’s wild creatures—be it bird, deer, racoon whatever—in your backyard, then you recognize the important work organizations like Owl’s Nest Sanctuary for Wildlife are doing. Together with its volunteers, the nonprofit, state and federally-permitted wildlife rescue and rehabilitation organization treats and releases sick, orphaned and injured wildlife.

“Essentially, if it is a native Florida species, we can help, or we can help you find someone who will,” the group says.

To raise money for the cause, songwriter Shae Krispinsky and enigmatic Tampa musician Robert Wegman (Triple X Girls) will play tunes all while nature-inspired vendors sell wares and bartenders mix up wildlife-minded cocktails.

Tickets to the Owls & Old Fashioneds fundraiser concert and mixer at Hooch and Hive in Tampa on Saturday, July 29 are still available for $10.
