Check out the just updated fundraising banana! Thanks to a $5,000 grant from the Hugh and Jane Ferguson Foundation, the total for our fundraising is up to $13,435!
With 68 days to go, we are $31,565 away from our ultimate goal and three more chimpanzee-proof windows.
Now is the time to really get moving on those fundraising ideas you have in the back of your head and spreading the word about our 2nd Anniversary Fundraising. If you need inspiration, here are a couple of examples of supporters already raising funds:
- Margaret Parkinson’s firstgiving page. Margaret is giving away art cards with prints of the Cle Elum Seven chimpanzees with a $30 donation.
- Tamela’s Art Under Glass Etsy store. Tamela is donating all net proceeds from sales from now until the end of June of all of the handmade jewelry and other items for sale through her Etsy store. She’ll be adding more items, so check back often.
And, just because I had so much fun keeping you in suspense, we do have other exciting news unrelated to the anniversary fundraising. We’ll be sending out a e-newsletter soon with information about the great stuff that is going on. Sign up if you aren’t already.
Woo-hooooooooooooooooo!!! This is FANTASTIC news and totally worth the suspense!!!! Thank you, thank you, thank you to the Hugh and Jane Ferguson Foundation for such an incredibly generous donation. I’m off to go read about them now…
Then I’ll be checking out Margaret and Tamela’s pages – Think Mother’s Day gifts, people! It’s May 9th this year…
Wonderful news! Pant hoots to the Hugh and Jane Ferguson Foundation for their generous contribution. I will continue to persuade (pester) friends to spread the word and make donations. Can’t wait for the newsletter!
Way to go!!! Yes it was worth the suspense and wait, Diana! But, again, you’re killing us :)!!! OK we can handle it. It just gets us even more excited for our chimp friends!!!
Thank you Hugh and Jane Ferguson Foundation! Wonderful gift. I will keep trying to get donations and I am sure we will make it by June 13th.
