The Yes We Peli-CAN! Virtual 5K is back, and in September 4-12, 2021 we are running and walking in honor of International Bird Rescue’s 50th Anniversary. Join us and help launch Bird Rescue into the next 50 years of rescuing waterbirds in crisis and inspiring people to take action to take care of our natural world.
This event is open to participants all around the world. Our goal is to raise awareness surrounding the birds that share our natural spaces, and raise $30,000 to support the care of injured, oiled, and orphaned water birds at our two wildlife rehabilitation centers.
