You can vote multiple times, so please, PLEASE every time you see our post, click on the link and VOTE! Then share, share, SHARE with all of your friends so that they can vote for us too! $55,000 can make a BIG difference! https://harrahssocal.com/all-in-4-change

Nurtured By Nature has been selected by Harrah's as one of the top 25 applicants for this year's All-In-4-Change Grant awards! This is so exciting and now we need YOUR VOTE! It only takes a moment to cast your vote for Nurtured by Nature, and maybe a second moment to tell all of your friends to do it too, so it should take approximately the same amount of time as an otter's attention span!

We're almost ready to start building "Ottertopia", which will be our all weather Make-A-Wish facility and Conservation Headquarters at Otter Valley! We've been stockpiling materials (thank goodness) and actively seeking grants, but we are still in need of companies that would be interested in sponsoring
1. composite decking that we will be using for the flooring of the otter enclosures,
2. a greenhouse company to help with the all-weather area, and 3. a waterfall/pond/pool company to help with materials and construction of our otter lazy river.
If you have a company that is interested in helping, Nurtured by Nature is a 501c3 nonprofit, so not only is there the tax benefit, but we will also make sure to recognize donors through our website and social media to hopefully help encourage additional sales for your business (we might even be able to produce a short promotional video for your company's product using our animal ambassadors).
If you think that you can help, please contact us via the email [email protected]. We would love to hear from you!!

We thought we'd share the link to our sister organization, Nurtured By Nature, for those of you who weren't aware that Animal Educators provides all the animals that Nurtured by Nature uses in their animal encounter programs! Check out NbN's page for all kinds of great pictures showing what Animal Educators ~ Kevin Yates and Nurtured by Nature do together every day!!

A great organization to support if you like animals! And a wonderful organization to support if you like to help kids!
