If you don’t have the dough to support your preferred non-profit, there other ways to help. One super easy one involves one minute out of your day and one click of your mouse (or thumb). It’s the Redwook Creek Wines and Planet Green sponsored Greater Outdoors Project, forking over a $50,000 grant to the nature-oriented non-profit chosen by you!
As Dave mentioned, our very own Graham Hill helped whittle down the entrants to the select top few including Friends of New Orleans City Park, the National Forest Foundation, WildEarth Guardians, Arizona Trail, and Conserve Wildlife Foundation of New Jersey. But now the grand prize winner lays our hands.
If you haven’t already, cast your vote online or via text message to 39668 using the corresponding code that matches your choice.
