Willie Robertson of “Duck Dynasty” fame will join country musician Coffey Anderson to raise money for pheasant habitat in South Dakota. A gala to support the Second Century Habitat Fund will take place June 3 at the Denny Sanford Premier Center.

“To my knowledge, there has never been such a big event focused solely on celebrating habitat and conservation in South Dakota, this gala is just a stepping stone in our fundraising efforts to continue to put quality habitat across the landscape of South Dakota,” said Second Century Executive Director Brian Bashore.

Tickets include dinner, entertainment, a silent auction and raffle packages. The raffle’s ultimate package is for a Toyota Tundra pickup paired with an Alumacraft boat. 

Proceeds will be used to preserve wildlife habitat for future generations. The Second Century Fund is governed by landowners, business owners, pheasant preserve operators and community leaders from across the state.
