Victoria & Liane at the Wild Things table
It takes a lot of time and money to look after injured and orphaned wildlife and Wild Things needs to spend a lot of time fundraising to continue its mission. 2010 was the first time Wild Things participated in the Ithaca Alternative Gift Fair (IAGF) for the year-end holidays. The IAGF is a great resource to many nonprofits; every year over 60 nonprofits participate and members of the public can come by "alternative gifts" as holiday presents. For example, the Wild Things gifts were:
$5 for an enrichment toy for an animal
$15 for a shelter for an animal
$25 to save a squirrel
$50 to save a fawn
$open to give to Wild Things (you can decide how much you want to donate)
Wild Things raised over $1000!! Wowee! Plus it was really fun meeting so many members of the public and sharing the Wild Things' mission.
Many thanks to Lauren and Lowell for helping man the table, Liane for getting off the plane and standing with me for 8 hours straight, Glen for helping get the Wild Times winter newsletter ready in time, Joshua for helping me set up and break down,
AND ALL THOSE WHO BOUGHT WILD THINGS GIFTS: What a great gift for all the wild things!!
