Parodies for the Planet!
And the award for building momentum during our blockbuster summer fundraising campaign goes to… these creative forces of nature, who passionately want you to join them in protecting the biggest stage we’ve got: our planet.
We partnered with local comedians and entertainers for our Summer Fundraising Campaign, creating movie parodies that inspired donations from all over our chapter!
Let’s give them a standing ovation for their support this week (your donation$ are the be$t applau$e!). It’s not too late to help us reach that $20,000 goal. Every single dollar has an immediate impact on our conservation efforts across Los Angeles and Orange County.
Show some love to our artists and then go to: sc.org/Angeles20k to make your donation before the curtain closes.
