May 26, 2017 Newsletter
It is my honor to reach out to you today. Over 5 years ago I co-founded River for Change with a vision to connect people, communities, and organizations to rivers through Source to Sea Adventure and educational outreach. I am proud to say that our upcoming Truckee River Project is the embodiment of that vision.
Our goal is to raise $20,000 to help support 10 Student Ambassadors, all between the ages of 10 and 14, on this upcoming Environmental & Educational Program. Starting next week they’ll join a Truckee River Source To Sea trip with a team of adults.
With this winter’s record-breaking snowpack in the mountains, their journey from the Sierra foothills of California, across Lake Tahoe and on to Pyramid Lake in Nevada will be challenging. Along the route they’ll make stops to visit schools & interact with local communities. This program has already visited over 750 school children in the Tahoe/Reno area educating students to change the way they look at water, to understand where it comes from, what it’s used for and why water conservation is so important.
As a volunteer run organization your support enables Rivers for Change to run a campaign of this magnitude.
If it wasn’t important we wouldn’t ask. I hope you will join me in supporting the work of Rivers for Change by donating towards our $20,000 fundraising goal (every little bit really does help 🙂 or you can register to join us on the water or on shore!
Thank you so much! It’s hugely appreciated by me, the entire RFC board and the kids that you’re helping – Wyatt, Annsley, Laurel, Chloe, Beckley, Tobin, Harland, Quinn, Will & Alyssa.
Thank you!
