Willowbrook Wildlife Center Fundraiser

Willowbrook Wildlife Center is a wildlife rehabilitation and education center located in Glen Ellyn, IL. Last year over 7,800 animals were presented for diagnosis and treatment. 4,753 birds were brought to Willowbrook last year and over half were rescued by the Chicago Bird Collision Monitors, an all volunteer bird rescue organization.

Willowbrook is the oldest wildlife hospital in the country and has been continually rehabiliating wildlife since 1956. Additionally, education staff presented over 350 education programs last year, both on-site and in DuPage County schools.

We are excited to announce we are having a fundraiser to raise funds for the purchase of new digital radiology equipment to replace our old outdated x-ray equipment. We would welcome your support by attending to help us reach our goal, and/or providing donations for our silent and live auction. I have attached a PDF flyer with all of the details.

The fundraiser will be Sunday, March 7, 2010 from 4:00 to 9:00 PM at the Maple Avenue Pub in Lisle. The fee is $40, with 75% going directly to Willowbrook for the new equipment. The event will consist of an open bar, light appetizers, food will be buffet style with two salad choices, chicken and pasta and a vegetarian dish. We will also be providing desserts as well. So far we have Scott McKay from 95.9, The River as one of our celebrity bartenders. We have some really fun auction items available and are working on more.

Please contact Ron at lynys2859@yahoo.com for tickets and I will figure out a way to get them to you.

Thanks for your interest!
