Dear Ms.Caloon,

As a participant in IFAW’s Animal Action education programs, we thought you’d like to know about our work to engage and involve children in the Caribbean to help save sea turtles. And we need help from the kids in your life to win support for this project from Disney's Friends for Change: Project Green.

Click the link below to visit their site and register to vote for IFAW's turtle project.

In IFAW's Clearing the Way for Turtles project, kids who live where sea turtles nest in the Caribbean will learn about sea turtle conservation and how they can help save them:

They'll clean up litter from beaches where sea turtle babies hatch;
They'll receive reusable shopping bags to help their families reduce plastic bag use;
When sea turtles come on shore to lay eggs, scientists will tag the turtles so they can identify and track them; And then, using the very latest technology, students will be able to track the sea turtles by using a special web site. So they'll be able to see the direct results of their conservation efforts!

Through the Disney's Friends for Change website, kids have the opportunity to vote for the project that they believe should receive the most funding. And that's where you come in!

Now through November 12, kids can vote on the Friends for Change website to help Disney decide how the next installment of its $1 million in annual donations will be distributed among the five programs. IFAW's "Clearing the Way for Turtles" project will receive a portion of this installment. The amount depends on the percentage of votes earned - first place gets $100,000, so please have the kids in your life click here to register and vote for IFAW's Clearing the Way for Turtles project. And then pass this email on to anyone and everyone who you think might be interested.

The voting period ends soon, so please have them vote today, and help us create a much better tomorrow for our ocean's sea turtles.

Thank you!


Fred O'Regan
IFAW President
