Celebrate the Creation of New York City’s First
Wildlife Rehabilitation and Education Center!
New York City is the only major U.S. city without a dedicated wildlife rehabilitation center. The Wild Bird Fund is about to change that, and we really need your help.
Big news! The Wild Bird Fund just signed a ten-year lease for 565 Columbus Ave., an attractive storefront just across the street from Animal General and the Center of Avian and Exotic Medicine. Our architect is already drawing up the plans for the build-out, for which we have financing. All we need now is the money for medical equipment, supplies, cages, and operating expenses.
So, please join us on June 18 at the Boat Basin Cafe for The Wild Bird Fund Takes Flight, a summer fundraiser.
The celebration includes:
- A raffle
- A silent auction
- Live demonstrations of rehab techniques
- An opportunity to meet our rehab team and some of our patients
When: June 18, 2011 from 4 to 8 pm.
Where: Boat Basin Café, W. 79th St. at the Marina
Tickets: $20, children free
Tickets are tax deductible and available at the door and online.
If you are unable to join us but still want to help New York City’s wildlife, you can make a donation at wildbirdfund.com or by mail; Wild Bird Fund, 558 Columbus Avenue, New York, NY 10024
Spread the word: Tell your friends! See you there!
