Howdy all, I put a check in the mail last night for $68.00, $2.00 for each of the 34 owls seen on my last trip. Got some great Photo's as many others have. So far in just a few e-mails this morning I have seen donations for $335.00 that makes $670.00 with the match from the Anderson fund. No matter how much or little you can contribute it will add up.
Thanks for bringing this to our attention Sharon.

The owls are coming from collision injuries with vehicles as opposed to starvation and the average cost of a surgical patient at TRC is $1500. Typically this time of year is slow at TRC but with the unusually high patient load, the center is facing some financial constraints. The Kathering B Andersen Fund of the Saint Paul Foundation is offering a 1:1 matching challenge grant to The Raptor Center, so any money donate right now will be matched dollar for dollar. If you have been enjoying the great gray owls this winter please consider making a donation. The Raptor Center receives more than 50% of it's budget from contributions. They take in a lot of birds and none of them have health insurance. You can call in or donate online at www.raptor.cvm.umn.edu.
