$28,865 donated in Q3!
Our donations will be used to buy supplies, such as batteries for power chairs and shower
benches. Most insurance companies no longer cover shower benches making them a much
needed commodity.
Southwest Wildlife Conservation Center (SWCC) was the recipient of $11,050 in donations
from our Scottsdale group. SWCC was founded in the early 1990s and has become one of
the leading wildlife sanctuaries and rehab facilities in the southwestern United States. When
wild animals are found hurt, orphaned or have lost their homes to development, SWCC
knows just what to do. They are there to help our native wildlife by giving them a safe place
to recover and grow; a place where their wildness is nurtured and encouraged.
SWCC rescues and rehabilitates wildlife that has been injured, displaced, and orphaned.
Once rehabilitated, they are returned to the wild. Sanctuary is provided to animals that
cannot be released back to the wild. Thousands of sick, injured, orphaned or displaced wild
animals have been rehabilitated. More than 70 percent have been successfully released
back into the wild.
Our donations will be used for the care and feeding of the animals, including medical care,
along with support of their operational budget.
