Less Than 2 Days Left to Help Manitoba's Caribou!
Dear Larry, Only 48 hours left to join our Week for the Wild and help the woodland caribou in Manitoba ! We gave ourselves just 7 days to find 50 people who care to help the woodland caribou. With your help, we’ve raised over $200 in Manitoba and we’re not done yet! Can you help us reach our goal of finding 30 more people who care about the woodland caribou? If you haven’t already, please consider making a special, one-time gift of just $11.50 to help protect the woodland caribou's remaining Boreal forest habitat. The woodland caribou needs our help. Let’s make the next 48 hours count – join our Week for the Wild now . Thanks for your continued support. Don't forget to follow us on Facebook and Twitter for updates! Yours in conservation, Ron Thiessen Executive Director, CPAWS Manitoba
