In 2020, we did more than save Oswit Canyon — we sparked a legacy of conservation across the Coachella Valley. Five years later, Oswit Land Trust is a leading voice for protecting land and wildlife, and it’s time to celebrate our success together!

Please contribute to this extraordinary evening of merriment with purpose, hosted by Brad Prescott, Aaron Leider and Michael Lewis among their exquisite vintage car collection in central Palm Springs. Enjoy food, drink, live music, vintage cars and inspiring company of community leaders and conservation champions like you.

Your sponsorship ensures that Oswit Land Trust can continues to protect land, wildlife, and our shared future – one acre at a time. A limited number of individual tickets, priced at $125, will be available beginning October 1st, 2025.

Once again, Oswit Land Trust has been selected as one of the beneficiaries of Barry Manilow’s A GIFT OF LOVE VII concert series, December 16 to 21, 2025 at the McCallum Theatre. This year’s recipients have been hand-selected by the A GIFT OF LOVE VII co-chairs, as one of the most important organizations that make the desert a special place to live.

The Gift of Love VI concerts will feature Barry’s hit songs and holiday favorites. Ticket prices range from $100 to $2,500 premium ticket packages.
We know it seems early to be making this announcement, but tickets sell-out fast for this event.

Tickets go on sale March 19th at 10am.
