Thank you for your interest in donating an item/items to the Duke Lemur Center! Your in-kind donation will be considered as an auction item or as part of an auction package to raise funds for the DLC through our annual fall gala. Any items that we are unable to use during the event may be used during the coming year as drawing items or door prizes at DLC events, or as special incentives and awards for the Duke Lemur Center’s hard-working volunteers, interns and students, and animal care and tour/education staff.

Donors of items valued over $500 may be recognized as sponsors on the sponsorship page of our website.
