Your bids directly help cover medical expenses\, special diets\, enclosure maintenance\, and rehabilitation efforts for animals in need. \nA silent auction is a type of auction where items or experiences are displayed for attendees to view\, and bidders write down their bids on a sheet of paper or on a digital device instead of bidding aloud as in a traditional auction. The auction typically runs for a set period of time\, during which participants can place bids on the items they are interested in. \nHere’s how it works:\n\nItems or Experiences Displayed: The items up for auction are displayed with a description of each item\, including details about its value\, usage\, or any relevant information.\nBidding Process: Instead of calling out bids\, participants write down the amount they are willing to pay for the item on a bid sheet (or in some cases\, a mobile or online platform). The bids are confidential\, and each person can choose to place a higher bid than the previous one.\nWinning Bid: At the end of the auction\, the person with the highest bid for each item wins the item and is asked to pay for it. The winning bids are typically announced or the winners are contacted after the auction ends.\n\nWhy Tunes for Toucans Matters\nTunes for Toucans is more than just a concert – it’s a celebration of wildlife conservation! This benefit concert and silent auction help raise essential funds for Toucan Rescue Ranch. The money raised will cover the day-to-day expenses necessary for the rehabilitation and care of our animals\, as well as support our release candidates on their journey back to the wild. \nBy attending\, you’re not only enjoying great music\, but also contributing to the health and well-being of the animals in our care. Your support helps us provide specialized diets\, medical care\, and enrichment\, ensuring our residents thrive in our sanctuary while we prepare them for a future in the wild. \nTicket Information\nAdmission: $25 or ₡12\,000Your ticket includes: \n\nOne appetizer\nOne drink (alcoholic or non-alcoholic)\nAccess to the silent auction\nLive music\nThe satisfaction of knowing you’re making a difference in Costa Rican wildlife conservation!\n\nMarfil is Headlining!\nMarfil was founded as “Bocaracá” in 1969 in the Atlantic port town of Limón on the Caribbean coast of Costa Rica.

We believe wholeheartedly in the work that the Toucan Rescue Ranch is doing\, and hope that this is just the beginning of our relationship.” \nHow You Can Get Involved\nThis year\, we’re celebrating Wildlife Conservation Finance: Investing in People and Planet by continuing our impactful work alongside partners like Nosotros.
