I don’t know how much reach this blog has these days, but it’s worth a shot!
Currently, the Chicago Herpetological Society, my organization that I've been a board member of for many many years, is deeply struggling right now because we've lost our main funding source (ReptileFest, our yearly in person event). So I'm plugging the fact that we are on Amazon Smile to as many as I can since it's a free thing to do.
We rescue many animals and adopt out, provide grants and publication options for grad and undergrad researchers, and also do many public educational programs about reptiles and amphibians. We're nearly 100 years old and it's really sad to think we might disappear because of the pandemic. So if you don't have an organization you're super partial to on Amazon Smile right now, we'd really appreciate selecting them for any more holiday shopping (or future shopping) you might do through Smile. (They also recently added Smile functionality to the app, just go to the settings and enable it). Make sure to use smile.amazon.com to contribute with eligible items. Thanks everyone!
