CSNW supporters never cease to impress me with their dedication and creativity! If you are a subscriber to our e-newsletter, you saw that we have set a goal of raising $7,000 by the end of June to celebrate the first anniversary of the chimpanzees arrival to Chimpanzee Sanctuary Northwest. We’ve chosen to celebrate Negra’s birthday on that day too. Her release to sanctuary means so much to her and to all of us, so we’re asking our supporters to help us raise the $7,000 (and “secretly” hoping we can exceed that goal). Check out our help us fundraise page for details.
A few people have taken on the fun task of creating their own unique fundraising page.
Nicole’s already received some donations through her fundraising page which she is promoting through Facebook – yay!
Margaret has offerred to paint a portrait of the chimpanzee of your choice for a donation of $700!! Below is a photo of a painting Margaret did of Jody. I can’t say enough about this painting – she really captured the vibrancy of Jody’s spirit, and seeing it in person is no comparison to seeing the photo. I am personally very tempted to donate just to get a painting (of Negra) for myself – but I’ll give you all a chance first. Visit her page for more details: www.firstgiving.com/margaretparkinson
Pam’s fundraising page reveals that she is offerring to cook a four course meal and deliver it to donors in Seattle who give through her page by June 8th. She’s going to be cooking food that she has also made for the chimps (Pam is one of the chimps’ personal chefs – we call her the Martha Stewart of the chimp house volunteers). Below is a photo of one of the many meals she has made for the Cle Elum Seven. You may also remember photos of her Valentine’s Day treats. Visit her page for details on what she will cook for you! www.firstgiving.com/pamlehnert
And, now that you’re inspired, create your own page through Firstgiving!

Margaret, what a stunning portrait…..and the photo that you painted from is one of my all-time favorites!!
Pam, I don’t know how you keep coming up with such fabulouly creative and yummy treats!
Margaret and Karen says
Thanks, Shelly. I love painting–especially painting the chimpsanzees. So I figured if I can have the fun of painting them and raise money for the sanctuary that is the best of both worlds! And doesn’t Pam have a great idea?
