Before Birds Need Us

Subject: Join me in Supporting Birds Need Us

Hi [FIRST NAME],

I am excited to announce that I am supporting the National Audubon Society during Birds Need Us by creating my very own fundraiser! Learn more about Birds Need Us at BirdsNeedUs.Audubon.org. You can make a donation to my fundraising page from November 11th to December 2nd.

Birds need us now more than ever as 3 billion have been lost in the last 50 years and two-thirds of North American species are at increasing risk of extinction from climate change. My fundraising will help the National Audubon Society protect birds and the places they need!

[USE THIS SECTION TO TELL YOUR STORY: Why are you fundraising? What impact have birds had on you?]
