Some moments bring people together. Others create change.
On Saturday, October 17, the Rhinory Foundation invites guests to join us for the 2026 Rhinory Foundation Gala: An Evening of Purpose, Passion, and Preservation, a night where fine wine, meaningful experiences, and a shared mission come together to make a lasting impact.
At Rhinory, conservation has always been at the heart of what we do. Every glass poured, every story shared, and every experience created is tied to something much bigger than ourselves: protecting one of the world’s most endangered species and supporting those fighting for their future.
This year’s gala marks an exciting milestone as we introduce our inaugural Catalyst for Conservation Award, a prestigious honor recognizing individuals who move the world from awareness to action.
We are proud to announce our inaugural honoree, Mital Patel, an internationally recognized wildlife photographer, conservationist, and storyteller whose work has inspired audiences around the globe. Through powerful imagery and meaningful conservation efforts, Mital has built bridges between people and wildlife, transforming photographs into purpose and awareness into action.
His impact reaches far beyond the lens. Mital has become a force for change, helping create meaningful conversations around the importance of preserving wildlife and protecting vulnerable species.
Throughout the evening, guests can look forward to an unforgettable experience featuring:
- Inspiring conservation stories and mission moments
- Live and silent auctions featuring exclusive experiences and one of a kind offerings
- Fine wine and thoughtfully curated culinary experience
- Special recognitions and meaningful moments honoring those creating change
- Opportunities to directly support global rhino conservation initiatives
Proceeds from the evening will support conservation beneficiaries making an impact around the world, including organizations dedicated to rhino protection, rescue efforts, habitat preservation, and frontline conservation initiatives.
The future of conservation depends on people willing to stand up, give back, and protect what cannot protect itself.
This is more than a gala.
This is a movement.
Join us in creating a future where conservation leaves a lasting impact. Learn more about the 2026 Rhinory Foundation Gala and reserve your place in an evening of purpose and preservation.
