Charity Donations

I keep wanting to do this, and it always slips my mind, but I'm gonna try to stick with using Patreon funds each month to donate to charities in the name of my Patrons.

I did that today by sponsoring a Symbolic adoption donation to the WWF. I chose to do the donation towards Bison (as it's the closest thing they have to a bull to celebrate Chester's route completion).

'Once numbering 30 to 60 million, bison roam the great plains of North America. Males weigh up to 2,000 pounds and can measure six feet high at the shoulder. While these giants may look slow and heavy, they can run as fast as a horse, turn quickly, and do a standing jump of over six feet straight up. Bison are grazers and eat mostly grasses and sedges, but they will occasionally eat berries and lichen. In the Northern Great Plains, WWF is partnering with tribal nations and other conservation interests to ensure that large herds of this iconic North American mammal can thrive.'

On top of that, I made a donation to "Stop AAPI Hate" in light of recent events in regards to racism targeted towards Asian-Americans in the US.

'In response to the alarming escalation in xenophobia and bigotry resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic, the Asian Pacific Planning and Policy Council (A3PCON), Chinese for Affirmative Action (CAA), and the Asian American Studies Department of San Francisco State University launched the Stop AAPI Hate reporting center on March 19, 2020. The center tracks and responds to incidents of hate, violence, harassment, discrimination, shunning, and child bullying against Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders in the United States.'

These donations are made possible thanks to my Patreon supporters, so thank you all for making this possible.
