CNC's 2009 Annual Giving Campaign

CNC's annual giving campaign launched on October 1, and we're asking each member to invest in what matters.

You could offset the price of volunteer training with a gift of $50, maintain a portion of the trails for $100, or help in providing an educational field trip with a gift of $250 or more. By giving a gift to our annual fund, you help Cincinnati Nature Center continue to inspire and educate visitors and provide peace and solace through our land's natural beauty.

Click here to give a gift online or to learn more about giving opportunities. Or, you may give a gift by mailing in the gift envelope included in your next issue of Newsleaf. Give by December 31, 2009, and help us reach our goal of $306,000!

You can track our progress by watching the tree fill with nuts, or look for the display in the Rowe Visitor Center.
