Jill's Birthday Fundraiser for African Elephants 2025

In 2009, Craig and I went on a journey to Africa that changed my life. Already a strong advocate for environmental causes, I came face-to-face with one of the most beautiful, empathetic, gentle, strong, and social animals, elephants! I had already known that these unforgettable animals are matriarchal, mourn their dead, and form tight-knit family groups, but seeing the power of their love and protection for each other in person made me fall in love. This fundraiser focuses on the things we CAN do for nature. The work this charity does really matters. Donations go far with this organization, they're a well-oiled machine with really big hearts! You know I don't do anything without fully researching it first, so don't worry about that.

Thank you for supporting me in my first fundraising effort. I hope we all learn something along the way. And I hope a little bit of the enthusiasm I have for these gentle giants rubs off on you.
