We came, we ran, we ate. And with the help of 30+ volunteers, the day went off with relatively few glitches. We raised almost $35,000 to protect Tanzania’s elephants in the Ivory Detection Dog program. (Actually, the total raised so far is $33,843.52, but we’re still fund-raising). Our trained Ivory Detector Dogs, Ben and Charlie, are on their way to Tanzania now, and every little bit helps reach our goal. There’s still time to give — help us get to a round $35,000! It’s easy.
