Give during our spring drive and your gift is DOUBLED!

Dear friends,

In a few days, we’ll be marking a sobering milestone: the 25th anniversary of the Exxon Valdez disaster in Alaska. Shortly after midnight on March 24, 1989, the oil tanker struck Blight Reef in Prince William Sound, home to more than 220 bird species.

International Bird Rescue’s response team was crucial in efforts to save as many oiled birds as possible. Out of this tragedy, we developed new methods of transport and stabilization, and launched an international internship program that has trained people from around the globe on how to save animals affected by spills.

Thanks to the generosity of two longtime supporters, we’re pleased to launch our spring donor drive with a dollar-for-dollar match. We have a $25,000 goal for our spring drive through the first week of April. Your gift is crucial to ensuring we continue to give world-class care to birds in need, including this Great Horned Owl, recently brought to our Los Angeles center contaminated with a clear substance on its chest and under its wing.

What’s more, sign up today as a monthly donor of $10 a month or more, and we’ve got a special gift for you: the feather bangle by Alex and Ani. It’s a beautiful way to show your support for the pelicans and other birds that inspire all of us every day. And you’ll be an official member of our Seabird Circle. Your pledge of $10 a month or more as a sustaining member makes it all possible.

Or, you can make a single gift by clicking here. Whatever the level, all our supporters are bird rescue heroes.

Thank you for your support,

Jay Holcomb
Director
