Earth Day
On Earth Day the 5th Graders of ABC donated $70, allowing 70 trees to be planted around the world. Thank you to the children who gave a generous donation.
Dear Friend,
Thank you for joining the Canopy Project with your generous donation. Your support is helping us reach our goal of planting 10 million trees in impoverished areas around the world in five years. That goal to bring 10 million new trees to life depends entirely on the support of generous contributors like you.
The trees your donation will allow us to plant will work to reverse the impacts of land degradation and provide food, energy and income, helping communities to achieve long-term economic and environmental sustainability. Your gift will support planting trees in some of the most deforested areas in the world such as Uganda, Brazil, Haiti, Mexico and more.
Thank you for being a defender of our planet's forests.
Sincerely,
Kathleen Rogers
President, Earth Day Network
