To celebrate the sun, the ultimate in sustainable energy and the theme of this year's Gala, Tucson sculptor Mark Rossi has created three beautifully whimsical bronze sundials, each 14" in diameter with ants marking the hours, a regal horned lizard standing by in hopeful anticipation of a tasty meal, and a monarch butterfly in folded position casting the time shadow. Each ticket costs $20.00 and offers three chances of winning!
Pictures of all the completed sundials will be available soon.
- Tickets $20 each.
- 3 lucky winners!
- Only 500 tickets will be sold.
- Need not be present to win.
All proceeds directly support the education, research, and conservation programs at the Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum, a non-profit organization.
