Birdathon Teams are always looking for new members!  And what could be better than a day out with friends enjoying the birds and raising money for Eastside Audubon at the same time?

Birdathon Team Goals

The goal for each team is to raise dollars and awareness for Eastside Audubon by securing pledges per species seen during any consecutive 24-hour period in May.  If you are a beginning birder, you may prefer to get a pledge for a set dollar amount from each sponsor. 

Go to Raising Money for tips on finding donors and asking them for pledges.

We try to see as many species as possible to maximize the money we will raise. Let your donors know how many species you expect to see – 50? – 100?
