Fundraiser by Woodford Cedar Run Wildlife Refuge
We need to be honest with you. It is a difficult reality to face that unfortunately, Cedar Run is not a guarantee. That is, not guaranteed without OVERWHELMING support from all of our supporters. Today we are facing a true perfect storm of factors; lost admission from an indefinitely closed Nature Center, lost income from a loss of education programs for an indefinite period of time, cancelled spring fundraising events...AND we are heading into our busiest time of year.
Many of you may not know this, but AFTER donations are factored in from animal drop-offs at the Wildlife Hospital, the Hospital STILL operates in a deficit of $80,000-$100,000 every year. We are normally able to fill this deficit and continue operating with revenue gained from visitor admissions, education programs, and fundraising events. We have now lost all of those resources with no end in sight.
We are asking for your help today not for a special project. It's nothing glamorous, exciting, or new. We need your help to keep the doors open, the lights on, and to be able to purchase food and medications for the animals that are relying on us. Unfortunately, Cedar Run does not have an endowment or any real safety net. Without OVERWHELMING effort from ALL OF US, we are heading towards dark times. Will you be there for us and help ensure our continued operation?
