Dear Friends & Supporters,

Thank you for your steadfast support of Apalachicola Riverkeeper!  We truly appreciate you and recognize that you are involved in many worthwhile projects and causes. 

As you know, Apalachicola Riverkeeper works hard to protect and conserve the awe-inspiring Apalachiola River and Bay. And, I  hope you will join me to mark  #GivingTuesday with a tax-deductible contribution to Apalachicola Riverkeeper.

Together, we do indeed make a difference!  Just ask Jonah Hanson, age 11.

On his own accord, Jonah recently raised $30 for Apalachicola Riverkeeper.  I was genuinely moved when I heard this family's donation story. Jonah's mom & dad matched Jonah's gift--- and Jonah's dad's employer will match their total gift.    $30 to protect a precious river system on Giving Tuesday seems like a solid investment to me! 

Will you consider a gift of $30, $60 or $120?  It all adds up. 

Your generosity of time and resources allows us to continue our work of 15 years-- protecting this incredible ecosystem for generations to come.  

As an upbeat reminder that conservation is both an important and fun job, click here to meet Max, age 4, (another great kid who loves rivers) who climbed Sand Mountain recently.  I dare you not to grin. Not possible. As a parent, I know that simply spending "wilderness time" with with our kids makes everything more meaningful. 

What do you think? How do we teach our kids about these important wild places? How can we protect these places for generations to come?   I strongly believe that we have to do it together. That's the reason I'm a member of Apalachicola Riverkeeper. That's why I volunteer here. I'm continually energized by meeting other supporters and members who care--like Jonah, my donor hero!

Please join me on #GivingTuesday.

Let's match Jonah and the Hansons' gift to continue the important work of Apalachicola Riverkeeper.  

Thank you for your consideration. Now let's make our kids proud!

The Hanson Family
