Hands On eNewsletter — May 2013

Dear {Friend},

The Million Dollar Challenge is on! We need to raise $500,000 for our students and our parks by May 31st. Your support will send 1,400 students into national and local parks over the next year, protecting these extraordinary places tree by tree and trail by trail.

Every dollar you give will impact both our land and our youth. That’s an investment in both America’s parks and America’s future!

Need another reason to give? Just read the member and alumni stories below. They show the power of SCA to turn a young person from a park visitor to a park advocate, from a student to a future conservation leader.

Help young people address the conservation challenges of the future. Help SCA meet the Million Dollar Challenge today.
