The 2009 Conservancy Ball – Take a Hike! – celebrates the completion of the much anticipated Trans-Catalina Trail. Its 27.5-mile path winds through wild and rugged terrain, and offers breathtaking views of Catalina from Avalon to the West End. The Ball highlights the Trans-Catalina Trail's important role in the Conservancy's mission by offering unique opportunities for recreation, alongside our conservation and education programs. The 14th Annual Catalina Island Conservancy Ball will be held on Saturday, May 2, 2009, at the Avalon Casino Ballroom.
Even if you can't make it to the Island for this year's Ball,
you can still participate.

This year's Pre-Ball Sponsor Party will be hosted by Blanny Avalon Hagenah at her spectacular Avalon home Castillo del Mar. Built in 1932 for Frank Sanborn and family of Mexico's Sanborn Hermanos Department Store, the stunning 7-level cliffside retreat was recently restored by its current Catalina family and is once again a bright and happy Avalon landmark. The home's interior charm, historic Catalina features and architecture, and dramatic patios overlooking the turquoise waters of Avalon Bay make this a truly special place. An added highlight for sponsors at the $20,000 level will be a private tour of Castillo del Mar given by Blanny Avalon Hagenah, a great-granddaughter of William and Ada Wrigley, Jr.
