Elephant Rescue - Help End Poaching Now

The dramatic loss of elephants in recent years is a worldwide epidemic. Without action, these magnificent creatures face extinction by 2020.

The dramatic loss of elephants in recent years is a worldwide epidemic, about which former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has addressed the international community.  Without action, these magnificent creatures face extinction by 2020.

The David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization dedicated to the conservation, preservation and protection of wildlife. DSWT is best known for the rescue, rehabilitation of orphaned baby elephants who have lost their families due to the tremendous increase in poaching for ivory in Africa. 

Join me for a fun-filled evening on April 27, 2013 from 8-11 p.m. at The Midtown, in the Reston Town Center, to raise funds for this wonderful and necessary organization.   Please contact me at chocolate4elephants@gmail.com for more information on how you can help.
