A hawk flew free, and our $1,000 goal
Hi [First name],
Since you last gave, [Animal's name] came to us with a broken wing after a car strike. After weeks of cage rest and rehab, this red-tailed hawk was strong enough to fly free on release day.
This Giving Tuesday, we're raising $1,000 for 20 days of rehab care for raptors in rehab this winter. Each day costs $50 and covers vet checks, medicine and food.
Would you give early, before the day arrives? Early gifts build momentum and show others the goal is within reach.
