Chairman's Challenge Unleashed: Fundraising for Conservation Excellence
"Fire control measures are an important component in any prescribed burn. While we have some of the necessary equipment, we need a second UTV to be able to safely conduct these prescribed burns. That is why I have decided that this year 30x60 chairman’s challenge will be to raise $30,000 in 60 days to purchase this piece of fire control equipment." -Prairie Land Conservancy's Board Chair, Greg Arnett
Our mission is to “protect wildlife habitat, open spaces, natural areas, and sustainable agriculture within west central Illinois”. To enhance our conservation initiatives, we have identified a crucial need for a Utility Task Vehicle (UTV) to aid in our fieldwork and prescribed burn activities. However, we need your help to make this vision a reality!
To kickstart our fundraising campaign, I am thrilled to announce the launch of my second annual "Chairman’s Challenge $30,000 in 60 days” fundraiser. As the Board Chair of the Prairie Land Conservancy, I initiated a program that is now in its second year. I am committed again to matching all donations up to $10,000. That means when you make your contribution, its impact will be doubled!
This fundraiser starts May1st and ends July 31st, 2024. Your contribution, no matter the size, will have a direct and tangible impact on our ability to carry out critical conservation work. Here's how you can get involved and make a difference:
