Patron
"As an artist specializing in wildlife, I am constantly approached by a wide range of organizations seeking support for their own various causes.

Cher Anderson
Champion, AFC Circle of Patrons
“My need to be a part of an organization that provides support in conserving earth’s beautiful and amazing creatures for my grandchildren and their children to meet in their lifetime is a driving force. When my grandson talks of dinosaurs and I hear the awe in his voice, I realized I could help make sure that his children do not talk about elephants and giraffes the same way without ever seeing one alive. This excellent organization and the people who are becoming family to me, is the best vehicle to achieve our common goal."
