YOUR VOTE CAN AID WILDLIFE, CROW & SANIBEL IN RECEIVING COMMUNITY GIVING GRANT

 

CROW, the Clinic for the Rehabilitation of Wildlife, is one of 2,500 nonprofit organizations from around the country that have been nominated to compete for over $5 million in grants from Chase Bank.

From September 6 to September 19, voting takes place on both Facebook and the Chase Community Giving website where people can go to vote for their favorite organization. At the end of the day on Wednesday, September 19th, the top 196 organizations of the 2,500 nationwide competitors will be awarded grants to further their missions.

Currently, CROW ranks 204th in the voting and with some extra help from its local supporters could move up into the top 196 and receive both recognition and financial support from Chase Bank. If you would like to help, please go to http://www.crowclinic.org/support/special.php and vote for CROW, either through Facebook or through the Chase Community Giving Program. If you are already a Chase online customer, you can vote at each website.

This would be a great way to help an island organization achieve success. For over 40 years, CROW has been saving the lives of sick, injured and orphaned animals and voting for CROW to receive a grant is a great way to say thank you for all they have been doing to protect our wildlife friends and neighbors.

Voting ends this Wednesday, September 19th. For more information, contact CROW directly at (239) 472-3644.
