You might have missed our annual meeting, “An Evening in the Islands with Friends,” so we are here to tell you all about it!
The event included project headlines from program directors, special community member cameos, and some fun mixology with The Barnacle on Orcas. We celebrated our impact in 2020 and shared our big and bold vision for even greater impact in the future and addressing the continued challenges we will face.
Now you too can see what all the chatter is about. Watch the highlights here. We know you might want to hear one of the other stories, so we have all the clips and the full video, for a limited time, on our event webpage.
We also had a major announcement! We have a $100,000 challenge match towards our year-end fundraising goal of $225,000 to support our programs and operations in the coming year! Our Board of Directors and some of our loyal donors helped us create this match so your contribution made by December 31 will be doubled, up to $100K.
Several of our members shared their inspirational moments during the meeting and what motivated their giving for our year-end fundraising campaign. One member said, I wanted to know why my support is so critical, and you showed me and told me — my support is how I protect what I love.
I hope you are compelled to help us unlock the $100,000 challenge match before the year end. Ways to give:
- Text the word “Friends” to 360-317-2610,
- Donate online today, or
- Mail your check to P.O. Box 1344, Friday Harbor, WA 98250
It is our sincere hope that our Sunday evening event reminds you of all we’ve accomplished together, inspires you to do even more, and motivates you get outside to enjoy our lovely forests as well as the Salish Sea and its beautiful rocky shorelines. Thank you so much for your support!
