We need you to send pictures of plants and animals in your own backyard and beyond. Contribute to science, work with local naturalists, and earn great prizes like binoculars, snake hooks, and even and IPOD Touch!” FREE!

Our goals continue to concentrate on the homeless population and those in crisis in our Asheville and WNC community. We are attempting to reach those in immediate need and those who fall through the cracks with government funding. Join us and share the love as we celebrate the season by supporting local non-profits. Your gift will go a long way to help members of our community have a place to call HOME.
We have set our goal to raise $20,000 and we will be matching all donations up to $10,000!
We have chosen 5 local non-profits to work with this year. We feel these five make efforts to help those homeless and in crisis in our community: Homeward Bound of WNC, Helpmate, Caring for Children, Eliada, Asheville Buncombe Community Christian Ministry‘s Transformation Village
*Your Donation is your admission (includes dinner), you choose what you want to give!
All funds will be distributed equally between the 5 local non-profits chosen and will go to help support the homeless and those in crisis in our Western North Carolina community!
