This just in from Yolanda Brooks of the Wildlife Rescue Association. Sounds like a fun way to support a local charity:
I work for the Wildlife Rescue Association out at Burnaby Lake and I thought members of Club Fat Ass would be interested in this charity campaign on behalf of the organization. It won’t cost your members a penny and will only take up a few minutes of their time.
I know that the club supports a number of other causes but I don’t believe participation in this fundraiser will take time or money away from those causes.
The Wildlife Rescue Association of BC is one of the recipients of the Keen Canada campaign Boots Give Back. For every photo of boots uploaded to its website at www.keencanada.ca/BootsGiveBack/Donations.aspx, the outdoor shoe specialist will donate $5 to one of the four listed charities which includes the Wildlife Rescue Association.
The campaign runs until October 31, 2010 and thousands of dollars are still available for donation. The WRA is the only BC-based charity in the promotion and the more photos your members upload, the more money the WRA will get to carry out its vital work.
The WRA has been carrying out wildlife rescue and rehab since 1979. Last year the organization cared for more than 3,000 injured, orphaned and pollution damaged animals ranging from swans and salamanders to hares and hummingbirds.
Each person can upload a photo of their boots in action as many times as they want. Keen only ask that participants upload just one photo a day and use a new photo every time. You don’t even have to be wearing Keen footwear. Any brand of boot, shoe, sneakers, clogs and even flip-flops will do.
As well as raising money for the WRA, participants stand a chance of winning free prize packs which include boots, bags and socks.

If you could pass on this info to Club Fat Ass members or mention it on your website or in your newsletter, that would be great.
