Dear Friends of Meadowview:
Meadowview is again participating in the Community GIVE and we need all the help we can get raising money for pitcher plant conservation and capital improvements. The GIVE is a one day, 24 hour, fund raising event hosted by our local Community Foundation. In the past two years we've raised over $24,000 in direct donations and received $4000 in prize money from the GIVE - all of this money going directly to land conservation/acquisition on our preserve system or to fund infrastructure.
You don't have to donate a lot, although that won't hurt, but the minimum donation is $25. If we get 101 unique donations (e.g. you, your spouse, partner, friend, etc.) we're eligible for a $10,000 endowment prize - one of the stated objectives of our fund raising campaign. So… the more people we can get to donate the greater our chance of making it to the endowment prize. We typically have 40-60 friends and members donate SO WE NEED YOUR HELP TO ACHIEVE THIS GOAL OF ACHIEVING OVER 101 UNIQUE DONATIONS. There are also many other cash prizes we are eligible for, just read the rules/FAQ for details in the link below.
Here's the link to donate on May 3. There are other links at the top about the GIVE.
