Join me in helping raise money for the Animal Park at the Conservators Center. Their mission to care for animals, educate people, and advocate for species is a critical piece of my world view. This time of hardship has great impact on small nonprofits that rely on visitors to ensure their mission continues. If you're able to even consider helping at this time, thank you!

Please consider participating in this matching donation challenge! An anonymous donor has agreed to match donations up to $30,000. Any amount helps on its own, but within this campaign, it will be doubled. In addition, although you may donate any amount, there are 6 preset tiers to say thank you to donors (see descriptions on the home campaign page: https://www.justgiving.com/campaign/AnimalParkNC2020). 

And here's MY commitment: I will personally give an additional $10 to the matching campaign for every friend or family member (sure: friend of a friend, friend of family, family of friend) who donates through my connected fundraising campaign here. [I look forward to having to sheepishly come back and tell you all I cannot afford any more +$10s and thank you profusely for giving anyway!] Giving to my campaign here is tied to the original campaign, meaning your donation still gets matched AND you also are eligible for the thank you options.
