Maybe you're a supporter of public radio, a hunger organization, your library or a religious support group. If so, you know how crucial it is to fund these efforts.

In the case of the Gila River, many of us lead busy lives: we can't attend the months of planning meetings and far-off legislative committees that will decide the future of the Gila. But when we come for our week-long hike in the fall or spring, we want to know that the Gila will be there, and be protected.

Give some thought to what the Gila means to you, even if you've never supported any organization of any kind before. Visiting the Gila region might have become an annual pilgrimage for you. Or else your one visit was so magical and special that you will remember it fondly for the rest of your life. Maybe you fell in love with your partner on a hike here. Maybe you re-discovered yourself under a juniper tree.

The fact is, you play an absolutely crucial role in preserving the Gila forever with your kind financial support of the Gila Conservation Coalition's efforts. We DO attend the months of planning meetings. We DO go to the far-off legislative committees. Your role is to make sure we have the funding to keep the effort going without let-up. Why? Because the voices that would divert the Gila are unlikely to let up. That means for right to win over might, we must never take our eye off the ball.

With a minimum $10 donation, we will send you updates on the Gila River issue. If you can afford to give $25, $50 or even $1,000, you can be sure that your contributions will be used to keep the Gila wild forever.
