Let's PULL together to get rid of weeds!
What is a Pull-a-Thon?
A pull-a-thon is a one-day fundraising event for both your group and the Ogden Nature Center! Have friends and family sponsor your pulling efforts by pledging money for every pound you pull. Half of the proceeds will go to your group's cause and the other half will go towards the Ogden Nature Center to support our efforts towards maintaining and promoting diverse, healthy ecosystems for the community to enjoy!
Why should I participate?
This is a great way to have fun and build your team while helping out your local nature center and raising some extra cash! It is perfect for clubs, families, corporations, sports teams, etc!
How do I participate?
When is it?
October 1, 2016 from 9am-3pm! You are welcome to come for as long as you want anytime.
Are there prizes?
Of course! The team that exhibits the most pull-a-thon spirit (t-shirts, hats, chants…) will be gifted 20 additional pounds of weeds pulled by ONC staff for their fundraiser. Whichever group averages the most pounds per person will go home with 2016 pull-a-thon bragging rights and will set the bar for future years!
Why is this important?
Invasive weeds are taking over the native habitats at the Ogden Nature Center. The weeds crowd out native grasses and wildflowers and provide little to no value to the birds and wildlife. Your volunteer efforts help keep the weeds in check and go a long way towards protecting the diverse ecosystems for all to enjoy!
