THE WILD SHEEP FOUNDATION SALUTES THE FOUNDING 100 MARCO POLO SOCIETY MEMBERS

The Wild Sheep Foundation (WSF) honors its pioneering, premier giving society. The members of this generous group of conservationists have each pledged or given a minimum of $100,000 to the Foundation. Then, during the Grand Finale Banquet auction at Sheep Show 2024, ten inspired MPS members bid the 100th and FINAL Marco Polo membership up to an astonishing $1 Million which was directed to the Wild Sheep Legacy Foundation Endowment Fund in an effort to ensure that the work of the Wild Sheep Foundation can continue in perpetuity. The generous members of the Marco Polo Society have raised an incredible $11 Million Dollars to "Putting and Keeping Wild Sheep on the Mountain".
