Annual Birdathon Fundraiser!
This year, our chapter marks its 46th year of sponsoring a BIRDATHON fundraising event! In that time, thousands of dollars have been raised for bird conservation. Please join us in making this year’s effort our best yet!
We invite you to make a pledge to any of the birders listed on the form to the right who will be participating in our chapter’s annual BIRDATHON on May 4th. Your pledge, for instance 15¢, will be per SPECIES of bird that your selected birder(s) identifies on that day. Your birder will contact you after the count with their species total and collect your contribution.
46 YEARS
Your money indeed goes where the birds go! All BIRDATHON proceeds are shared by organizations that do a tremendous job of:
•protecting and improving bird habitat
•on wintering grounds, migration corridors and nesting sites,
•connecting people with nature,
•providing education opportunities for the public, and
•collecting scientific data through bird counts and birdbanding.
