The funds raised are designated for a solar powered irrigation well needed at the site. It's a $50,000 ticket, but a sustainable means of providing water and saving the cost of treatment and pumping from municipal drinking water sources.  Come on down.  To register for a race, see our website at www.gcbirdsanctuary.org
