Event Description
Do you like birds? Butterflies? Arizona Riparian areas? From noon on April 5 to noon April 6, you can help one of the premier riparian preserves that attracts over 116 bird species and is designated as a Monarch Butterfly Waystation. To do so, participate in the state-wide AZ Gives Day event by supporting Black Canyon Heritage Park (BCHP) at https://www.azgives.org/BCHeritagePark.
 
The Black Canyon Heritage Park is one of the nearly 1,000 nonprofit organizations expected to participate in Arizona Gives Day, an online fundraising initiative that brings together Arizonans from across the state to raise awareness and financial support for a variety of nonprofit organizations. Since it began in 2013, it has raised over $30 million.  Last year, the event raised $7.1 million for 982 non-profits.
 
“This event will give us a state-wide opportunity to attract supporters to help us continue our improvement and maintenance programs for our Sonoran Desert riparian preserve that provides with experiences that instill respect, responsibility, and stewardship for the surrounding area,” said Bob Cothern, Chair, Black Canyon Heritage Park Coalition.“
 
The process is easy!! You can start March 16 but the best time is between noon April 5 and noon April 6.  During that 24-hour period, a donor will match the first $500 raised and BCHP will be eligible for some incentive prizes.  Go to https://www.azgives.org/BCHeritagePark.
