SCI Convention
Sables Luncheon
Sables Mission
To further the understanding of our outdoor heritage, including the positive role of hunting, through the creating and support of wildlife and conservation educational programs that are consistent with the educational mission and purposes of SCI and SCI Foundation.
We would like to personally invite you to attend our Sables Luncheon, Welcome to the Jungle!, on January 24th, 2025, at the Omni Nashville Hotel. Tickets cost $150 or a table is $1,500. Doors will open at 10:15 AM where you will be able to enjoy a complimentary specialty alcoholic drink and mingle with others who are passionate about conservation and hunting. You can also check out the Sables silent auction items before enjoying a delicious lunch, the fast and furious live auction, and dancing to the Top Tier Band. Top Tier consists of top notch, experienced musicians with a passion for performing. The band members have shared the stage with a diverse group of artists, such as Rick Springfield, The Cars, Craig Morgan, Tiffany, Phil Vassar, Ambrosia, and John Ford Coley. Funds raised from the Luncheon go towards supporting SCIF Education Programs.
What to wear to the Luncheon? Now is the time to bring out your favorite animal prints and pith helmets! Think Jungle Cruise and you will have it. Need any ideas? Check out our Style Sheet here.
