Campaign to Support the Zodiac
Almost There: $34 Left to Raise!
Thank you for generously supporting The Zodiac, our research vessel! Thanks to our supporters, we've raised $1,966 from 32 donors so far.
Our campaign has five days remaining, and we need only $34 more to reach our $2,000 goal to fund one whole voyage. The campaign will close Wednesday, June 4, at 11:59 pm, and we hope to make this final week count.
Please continue spreading the word by sharing the campaign with your friends and family. Every new donation brings us closer to reaching our goal.
