I wrote a post a few weeks back about Racing for Wildlife, and MUCC’s affiliation with this great program. Well now the time has come, and an opportunity has shown itself, for everyone to help out with this great cause.

Jennifer Lewin, the Web Content Manager for The Conservation Fund/Racing for Wildlife, recently contacted me to let me know about a charity trap shoot that is coming up to help raise money for the Mill Creek Youth Camp restoration project, here in Michigan. She wondered if I would be interested in helping to get the word out about this wonderful event. And since I’m such a push-over, and because she was so nice, I agreed that I would be more than happy to spread the word.

Here are the event details:

Location: Chelsea Rod and Gun Club

Date: Thursday, August 14th, 2008

Time: Event starts with lunch at 11am.  Shoot starts at 12pm and runs until 3:30pm.

This sounds like a wonderful event, and I am slightly bummed that I cannot attend. For those of you who do go, you will have an opportunity to dine with Ryan Newman, the driver of the #12 Alltel Dodge. Racing for Wildlife is a partnership between the Conservation Fund, and The Ryan Newman Foundation, so you will have an opportunity to dine with him if you can attend. That is pretty cool, and plus what fun would it be if you didn’t also have an opportunity to shoot guns at a gun club. I think both of those things right there make the time and money worth the effort. If you would like to read more about this event you can do so here.

For those of you, like me, who can’t make the event, you can still help my donating. Donations are able to be made at their website, and for those of who are not comfortable with that here is the necessary information to pay by check:

Racing for Wildlife
c/o The Conservation Fund
1655 N. Fort Myer Drive, Suite 1300
Arlington, Virginia 22209-2156

Checks can be made payable to The Conservation Fund/Racing for Wildlife. Gifts are tax deductible.

I think this is a great cause, and I’m sorry that I cannot attend. I wish them the best of luck with their project, and I hope that everyone who can’t attend is able to donate a little money. It is not everyday that such a great organization comes around and truly makes an impact at the local level.
