HOBAS fundraising run on Saturday, October 27
The Huntington-Oyster Bay Chapter of the National Audubon Society (HOBAS) will be hosting their first Walk/Run for Wildlife and Conservation on Saturday, Oct. 27, at Planting Fields Arboretum, with all proceeds benefiting the chapter’s conservation fund.
This event, for those willing to walk, run or do a combination of both, is designed to raise money for the chapter’s important conservation initiatives such as habitat restoration efforts, wildlife research projects, and conservation advocacy. “Participating in this fun-filled morning, with other like-minded folks, is a great way to help the wildlife and our environment on a local and regional level,” said Stella Miller, chapter president.
The registration fee of $25 ($30 day of event) is waived for those who raise $50 or more. Participants who raise $100 or more will be entered to win a basket filled with gift certificates from local merchants estimated to be worth approximately $250. In addition, those raising $50 or more will receive a commemorative T-shirt, featuring the iconic bird of Long Island, the osprey, with artwork by renowned bird artist F.P. Bennett.
For more information on how you can participate in this important fun-filled event, please go to the website hobaudubon.org or contact Ms. Miller directly at 695-0763.
