Have an Affinity for Turtles? |
|
 The Turtle Survival Alliance is launching several affinity fundraising programs over the coming months. By participating, you can help raise funds for turtle conservation by just doing what you do every day such as grocery shopping or banking!
The first is available through Kroger grocery stores, and is limited to Texas and Louisiana. If you live in one of these states, you can print the form found here and take it to Kroger next time you go shopping. This form will link your Kroger Plus Card to the TSA and a percentage of the money that you spend will be dedicated to turtle conservation!
Don't live in Texas or Louisiana, but know someone who does? Please forward this message to them so they can participate. Know of a similar program in your home state? Email information to HLowe@turtlesurvival.org and if we are able to participate, you will receive a free t-shirt as a thank you gift! |
