Bird-a-thon 2011
The Original Tweet
May 13th - 14th

Thank you for supporting the conservation efforts of Mass Audubon. Our feathered friends depend on you to provide funding to conserve the habitat they need for their nests and to help educate their human neighbors as well.  We appreciate your generosity and support.

The Mass Audubon Bird-a-thon, to be held May 13-14, 2011, from 6 p.m. to 6 p.m., is a 24-hour birding event during which birders count bird species while raising money at the same time. Please donate, or create your own fundraising page, to help Mass Audubon raise $175,000 during 2011 - that works out to about $540 for each of the 324 bird species that make Massachusetts their home.

Getting started is easy. It only takes a few minutes to create your Online Fundraising Page:

• Click the Get Started button

• Create a personal online fundraising page
• Personalize the text and photo on your online fundraising page to express your passions and your purpose

Mass Audubon works to protect the nature of Massachusetts for people and wildlife. Together with more than 100,000 members, we care for 34,000 acres of conservation land, provide educational programs for 225,000 children and adults annually, and advocate for sound environmental policies at local, state, and federal levels. Mass Audubon's mission and actions have expanded since our beginning in 1896 when our founders set out to stop the slaughter of birds for use on women's fashions. Today we are the largest conservation organization in New England. Our statewide network of wildlife sanctuaries, in 90 Massachusetts communities, welcomes visitors of all ages and serves as the base for our work. To support these important efforts, call 800-AUDUBON (283-8266) or visit www.massaudubon.org.
