A tradition in the Allan-Wadley family is for children to choose what they’d like for their birthdays. Five-year-old Marley chose to invite SWRR’s Ed Animal Team to present at her school. She parked a wagon at school to collect donations and raised over $150 in monetary contributions plus needed supplies.

In decades of wildlife educational programs, volunteer Patti Blasquez had never experienced anything to match this. When Miss Marley is old enough to volunteer at SWRR’s Center, she’ll be most welcomed!
