A Giving Tuesday form that worked
New York Marine Rescue Center's Giving Tuesday form, built free on Zeffy
- Peer-to-peer fundraising: Let supporters start a team or fundraise solo, so more neighbors help seals and sea turtles heal.
- What only you do: Tell donors your role: the only permitted center in New York rehabilitating local seals and sea turtles.
- A timely need: Tie the day to what's next: the coming stranding season, when turtles stunned by cold water need rescue.

20 cleanup kits for our monthly shoreline cleanups
Hi [First name],
[Name] showed up to our first beach cleanup with a grocery bag and bare hands, and filled it with fishing line and bottle caps before the tide came in. Since you last gave, our volunteers have kept coming back, and the pounds of debris removed have grown every month.
Next week is Giving Tuesday, and our goal is $1,000 for 20 volunteer cleanup kits (gloves, grabbers and bags). That's enough to outfit 20 volunteers for a full season of monthly shoreline cleanups.
Would you start us off with an early gift? Early gifts build momentum before the day arrives: [Donation link]
Thank you for being part of this.

It started with a grocery bag and a pair of bare hands.
Our monthly cleanups run on gloves, grabbers and bags. Today we're raising $1,000 to outfit 20 volunteers for the season.
$25 = a sturdy pair of gloves and a grabber, ready for the next low tide.
Every kit means more pounds of debris removed from our shoreline. Tap the link in bio to give.
