Corporate challenge for Wild Voices for Kids program
Think kids should get outside and learn about their big backyard in the Kootenays?
We thought so! And that’s why this summer we are looking for 10 local Kootenay businesses to provide a $500 sponsorship for our Wild Voices for Kids program.
In an age of technology, these programs help get kids outside and excited about our natural world.
Wild Voices for Kids (WVFK) started over a decade ago and now offers 125 different curriculum-linked environmental education field trips and presentations led by 75 local experts. Since 2009, the Columbia Basin Environmental Education Network (CBEEN) has offered these programs to 50,000 students across the region’s six school districts. However, the demand for these programs continues to grow. With your support, this coming school year we will be able to offer programs to over 10,000 students. As it only costs us an average of $10/student/program, your $500 would impact 50 students!
And just what do you get for your $500? Well, apart from feeling great about where your money is going, we will also feature your business on our website (50,000 page views annually), in our Basin-wide eNewsletter, and in our growing social media feed. And if that’s not enough, we will also send you a certificate of thanks you can display in your business, and contact you in person (yes, a real, live person!) to tell you how much we appreciate your support.
If your business would like to be a Program Sponsor, or if you know of a Kootenay based business that you think would love to be a Program Sponsor, please let them know about this opportunity, or have them contact CBEEN Executive Director, Duncan Whittick at 250-341-6141 / [email protected].
