Cailan's Adventures in Support of Wildlife
Cailan is a girl who loves nature and wildlife. She is an avid fundraiser and volunteer and wants to raise awareness about the fact that wildlife sanctuaries are 100% donor funded.
Cailan has set a personal goal to raise $100,000 before she reaches 18, which is the age where volunteers at Aspen Valley can work hands on with wildlife.
In 2019 she went door to door, attended community events and with other fundraising activities, raised roughly $15,000 which supported the wildlife in care at the Sanctuary. She then decided to go bigger.
In August of 2020, she kayaked 120 km and portaged roughly 21 waterfalls and chutes from Huntsville to Arnold’s Bay, raising to date $14,465.00. The funds will start the construction of new Deer Fawn housing which will be designed to rehabilitate orphaned and injured fawns. Having a dedicated facility specifically for the care of these high stress animals has been on Aspen’s wish list for some time.
This summer Cailan is picking up her paddle again to canoe 250 km, camping along the way, on a route mapped out by Hap Wilson.
