Last night the Portland Audubon Society hosted a beautiful banquet for those who raised at least $75 in the Birdathon fundraiser. In all, we raised over $150,000! The money goes toward education programs, habitat protection, sanctuaries, and the Wildlife Care Center. Last year, Portland Audubon's educational programs reached over 12,000 children, and the Wildlife Care Center treated over 3,000 injured and orphaned animals. If you haven't visited the 172-acre Wildlife Sanctuary or attended an Audubon program, you're really missing out!
The Birdathon fundraiser was held the weekend I moved to Portland. Participating in it gave me an instant connection to the community, it introduced me to some remarkable people, and it allowed me to make a difference while doing something I love: birding.
I am grateful to all of the generous donors who believed in this cause, and I am grateful to Portland Audubon for accepting me into their flock and allowing me to participate in their fundraising efforts.
