Give a Lamb a Drink

The Give a Lamb a Drink campaign has an ambitious goal: 90 new drinkers in five years. Those systems can support more than 6,750 additional desert bighorn, an icon of the California desert. Each system costs about $25,000 in equipment, and you can do your part for as little as $300.

Katie in the Cady’s Project

In Memory of Kathleen “Katie” Garrison-Martin

Katie passed away on September 14, 2025. For more than 15 years she was a devoted participant and volunteer at chapter events. In her honor her husband, Donald C. Martin, together with CA WSF, has established the “Katie in the Cady’s Project”, a fundraising effort to build a wildlife drinker in the Cady Mountains of Southern California — the range whose coveted Unit 9 bighorn permit Katie applied for every year, though she was never drawn.

A drinker in his name

In Memory of Andrew Pontius

Firefighter Andrew Pontius lost his life on June 14, 2024. A life member of the Society for the Conservation of Bighorn Sheep and one of the most dedicated volunteers working for desert bighorn, he is remembered with a drinker installation named in his memory.

Life Member drawing · Drawn May 1, 2027

Horseback Dall Sheep Hunt

For life members only, and a reason to be in the room: every life member is entered automatically in the drawing for a $45,000 horseback Dall sheep hunt with Jonah’s Alaskan Adventures, but the winner has to be at the gala when the name is drawn.

Must be present to win. In 2026 the first name drawn was not in the room.

25th Annual Fundraiser Gala

Join us for an afternoon and evening of information, excitement and camaraderie with fellow wild sheep enthusiasts at the Hyatt Regency Sonoma Wine Country, a new venue by popular request: a live auction, a silent auction, guest speakers, good food and more.

Over 95% of the chapter’s net revenue from the fundraiser goes directly on the ground for wild sheep.

$25 to $1,500
