Is BFR Patty Pearthrees job now?
No. Patty is a volunteer just like everyone else involved in BFR. This enables us to send 100% of all donations to the 3 areas of conservation. Administrative costs (for such things as postage, wire transfer fees overseas, etc.) are paid by the $25 fee for each participating chapter . Q: Why not bowl for a different animal each year? A: It takes about 5 years for a fund raiser to take hold where the public looks forward to it so it is important to keep the name the same. BFR saves rhino habitat so it saves everything from orchids to sea turtles to elephants. In fact, Lewa Wildlife Conservancy in Kenya has more elephants (300) than rhino (80). BFR also saves cheetah, Grevy’s zebra, sumatran tigers, malayan sun bears and tapirs, Javan gibbon and the coral reefs, just to name a few.
