Evelyn van Wingerden memorial!
Donation protected
The Evelyn van Wingerden memorial fund is created to fulfill her long-time desire to benefit the San Diego Zoo and Safari park!
All funds collected will go to the San Diego Zoo.
A $25,000.00 donation will give Evelyn something we have always talked about. Everytime we, as longtime S.D. Zoo members, were at the Zoo or the Park we talked about a bench.
A bench with her name on it, overlooking a great resting spot was something we were eventually hoping to be able to give the Zoo to benefit their world wide programs of helping wild animals survive in today's destructive environment.
The money will benefit the wild animal world and research.
So your donation via Evelyn will do a world of good!
Those of you who met Evelyn at the various Dixieland Jazz festivals such as the San Diego's Thanksgiving festival, the Three Rivers Jazz Affair or on one of the wonderful Jazzdagen Tours- Cruises, will remember her love of Dixieland Jazz, her laughing eyes, her cheerful attitude and her always helping others before herself approach.
So now with your help, we can give Evelyn "her wish"!
A bench at the San Diego Zoo or SafarI park!
