Atlanta Braves Sponsorship
​
We are pleased to announce that the Major League Baseball team, the Atlanta Braves, has taken a huge step toward helping Southwest Florida's wildlife hospital, the Paul A. & Veronica H. Gross, Wildlife Center of Southwest Florida, by sponsoring one of the new and raptor habitat enclosures.
​
The center is in the middle of some big changes. All in the name of advancing the capabilities of the center's ability to rehabilitate the ever-increasing number of our area's sick and injured wildlife.
​
We would like to thank our community partners the Atlanta Braves for joining in our mission to save our native wildlife.
