GiveBIG & Help Realize the Dream

4/28/2016

We are thrilled to participate in the Seattle Foundation's incredible one day outpouring of philanthropy, GiveBIG. On May 3, all online contributions made through the Seattle Foundation's GiveBIG website will be eligible for stretch pool funds, golden ticket prizes and other matching gifts. We need your help to get the word out about Friends of North Creek Forest and GiveBIG! On top of the Seattle Foundation's Stretch Pool, we have our own Challenge Fund to encourage contributions. Our GiveBIG goal is $6400, in honor of the 64 acres of North Creek Forest, and our Challenge Fund will match any contribution of $64 and above. Plus, all first time donor gifts, in any amount, will be stretched with at least a $64 match! So if you have never contributed before, your gift of $10 will equal $74!

Here is what you can do today to help us have a successful GiveBIG next week:

Schedule your GiveBIG Contribution today! New this year - schedule your contribution ahead of time. Your donation will be processed on May 3.
Follow us on Facebook and invite your friends to like / follow us as well. Share our GiveBIG Facebook posts with friends, and share the link to our GiveBIG Donation page on social media when you make a contribution yourself.
Email friends and family with the link to our GiveBIG page and encourage them to match your contribution - if they are a new donor, their gift will go even further.
Do you receive our monthly electronic newsletter - North Creek Forest News? If not - sign up at the bottom of this page (we won't sell or share your contact info). Invite your friends to sign up too!

We hope you will join us on May 3 to GiveBIG for North Creek Forest!

On Sat Apr 23 Friends of North Creek Forest hosted a large work party and BBQ in honor of Earth Day. Groups included Whale Scout, UW Bothell and Cascadia College students, scout troops, Starbucks, and other interested community members that numbered 100 volunteers. Thanks to twelve neighbor families who shared their waste bins, we removed over a thousand gallons of plant waste, weighing more than four thousand pounds!

We borrowed bins from:
Tom & Jeanie Robinson
Bill & Ann Goff
Carolyn & Jim Freese
Mark & Nanette Rohrbaugh
Luke & Michelle Brannon
Laura & Don Decker
Linda & Jerry Smedes
Bob & Carolyn Carpenter
Sylvia & Pat Cunningham
Yang Linghai & Lai Ying
Jim & Holly Vonseggern
Cathy & Rick McNeese

We appreciate your help in restoring damaged areas of your newest parkland and saving the money it would have cost to pay for a King County dumpster.

Thanks to all for your work to restore North Creek Forest!
