Greetings Cozumel Turtle Supporters and Friends!
On behalf of the over 2,500 (and counting) nesting green and loggerhead turtles of Cozumel and the Marine Turtle Salvation Program Committee, I would like to thank each and every one of you for your generosity and participation in our 20011 Marine Turtle Salvation Program Volunteers & Supporters Program..
As you are aware from other notices, there was no organized fundraising initiative prior to the 2009 season for Cozumel's Turtle Salvation Program. However, as Cozumel felt the full force of the global financial crisis in 2009 as well as the H1N1 influenza shut down, the city budget was cut which drastically affrected the Turtle Program. At that time, the Turtle Program Managing Committee had no alternative but to look for financial supporters to help the workers and volunteers continue their work.
Unfortunately, difficult financial and economic conditions continue throughout the world now in 2011 so our need to raise funds to support the Cozumel Marine Turtle Salvation Program continues. The 2011 Turtle Program Supporters and Participants are being recognized publicly here as a small token of appreciation by the Turtle Program Committee.
The content of this Recognition Page will continue to change in the weeks ahead as more participants and donations come in throughout the remaining 2011 season.
It goes without saying that these donors have been critical to the survival of the 2011 Turtle Salvation Program. However, the season is not yet over and as always, there have been and will be many, many donations made to the program and they are all important to the survival of the program. So please, never under estimate the power of ANY size donation!! Every donation of every size is very much appreciated by the Cozumel Turtle Salvation Program!
As always, the funds donated by supporters will be utilized to try to maintain the turtle program by purchasing various supplies and equipment needed for this season's efforts. These donations make an extraordinary difference to the more than 100 volunteers who work the program each year.
Again, on behalf of the Cozumel Marine Turtle Program Committee, THANK YOU so very much to all of our 2011 TURTLE SUPPORTERS! We appreciate your support of Cozumel's nesting sea turtles!
Sincerely,
Hector Gonzalez
