Birdathon
Birdathon is one of our major fundraisers. It is similar to a walkathon or marathon where participants
raise money for Denver Audubon by birding (not
walking or running, whew!).
Proceeds fund school, family, and conservation programs.
There are three ways to participate:
Form a team
Organize a team of people who can all bird on the same day during May (it doesn’t matter what day in May, you pick). Before your team’s day, collect pledges from sponsors: friends, family, coworkers, anyone! Count the number of bird species the entire 24 hours of your team’s day! To register a new team, fill out this form.
Sign up for a team
Current teams are listed below. If you would like to join one of the teams listed, please email Rhonda and let her know. We will send you sample letters to help you raise funds.
Support a team
Just click on any one of the donate links below to support your preferred team. If you don’t want to donate online, please mail a check to us at 9308 S. Wadsworth Blvd. Littleton, CO 80128.
What about social distancing?
We anticipate that even if Colorado’s stay-home order is lifted by May, limitations to group outings may still be imposed. As such, teams with multiple people can bird in different/individual locations. A team can consist of a single person or a single family. You don’t need to go anywhere, birding in your backyard is perfectly fine.
