Although the Team Chimp fundraising was set to end on December 31st, we’re still getting donations (thank you, everyone!) so I wanted to set one last goal and see if we can reach it by Burrito’s 30th birthday this Sunday.
Team Burrito is just $355 away from winning the contest – let’s get him there! A donation of $65 will pay for his heart medication for one month. So, the initial goal is to raise $355 so Team Burrito can win the contest by his birthday, and the stretch goal is to have enough donations to pay for his medication for one year – $780 total. I’m going to start by pledging $30 in honor of his 30th birthday. Will you consider making a $30 or a $65 donation for Mr. B? I will update this page in the comments section as donations come in; feel free to leave your birthday message for Burrito there too!
How can you resist when you look at the photo below? This is the photo for January in the 2013 calendar, so many of you have it hanging by you right now:
Wow! Team Burrito has already had $485 in new donations! Thank you, thank you, thank you! Just under $300 to pay for a year’s supply of Mr. B’s heart meds. I can tell – 30 is going to be a good year for him.
Sweet Burrito! Who could resist such a handsome boy!? I know I can’t!! I’m a sucker for those beautiful eyes. I have had my share of heart problems and I too have to take medication every day. We are so blessed to have found out about his heart condition in time to do something about it. Three years ago this month a sancturary in Bend, Oregon lost one of their beloved chimps to an unknown heart problem. It was devestating and we all miss our Kimie so very much but we all are comforted knowing she is now free!! So in loving memory of Kimie and to Burrito’s long life and good health I have made a donation. Happy Birthday Burrito!! You are a very special chimp indeed!
Thank you, Sheri – for the donation, your very nice dedication, and your support of chimpanzee sanctuaries. The sanctuary community is composed of some of the nicest, most compassionate people!
The total donated is now up to $695!
Wow SheriR, what a beautiful story. Diana, I’ll see your $30, and raise it $5. Do I hear $40?
I like your style, Kerri. Thank you!
That’s outstanding!!! You must. Be very proud of the CE7 and their supporters!!
P.s. I was forced to watch a mini marathon of “storage wars”, not usually a competitive gal :-). Seriously though do you have an online auction anytime soon?
Happy Birthday to the big man MR B and many many more
Well, folks, we are now just $50 away from making it an even $1,000 for Burrito’s big 3-0! And we just received a new Team Missy donation too (she needs the love as well). Thanks so much to everyone who has donated so far!
And now we’ve reached $1,000!!
Bless your heart Burrito. So glad you won! HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
