Information from Seal Sitters

Seal Sitters Marine Mammal Stranding Network will be participating in the 2013 Give BIG online giving event on May 15th (http://www.blubberblog.org/files/dbcf57e7e4a94f1c976343817b1d41bc-490.h…). We hope the community will support Seal Sitters through The Seattle Foundation's GiveBIG, a one-day, online charitable giving event inspiring people to give to nonprofit organizations in our region. Donations will be partially matched by The Seattle Foundation. This is an easy way to make your donation dollars multiply. Since we receive no funding from NOAA, the State or City for our work, we depend on public donations to help defray our costs for dedicated hotline, stranding materials, educational outreach materials. Additionally, we need to fundraise for materials and site preparation of the Year of the Seal sculpture (http://www.sealsitters.org/news/year-of-the-seal.html).
