Refer-a-Friend this Summer to win a wilderness outing!
This summer we are excited to launch the REFER A
FRIEND campaign and ask all of our members to
reach out to their personal networks and recruit a new
member for CWC. Members are the lifeblood of the
California Wilderness Coalition and make all of our
work possible. Each new membership adds to the critical
grassroots strength that CWC needs to protect the last
remaining wild spaces in our Golden State.
The CWC member who refers the most friends will
receive a special wilderness outing with Executive
Director Kristi Davis, and a member of the CWC
how to support us
Conservation Director team. The winner will be able
to invite the members he or she referred to attend the
outing as well!
It will be important that all those who become members
through the REFER A FRIEND campaign indicate
your name (the person who gave the referral) when
donating so that you can receive credit. New members
can donate in the following ways:
- Donate Now online. The new member should indicate your name in the “How did you hear about CWC” box.
- Mail a check payable to CWC at 1212 Broadway
Suite 1700, Oakland, CA 94612. The memo on the
check should read “Refer a Friend: Your Name”. - Call Martha Serianz, Membership/Development Associate at 510-451-1450 and donate over the phone.
This exciting new campaign will last from June through
August. The winner of the REFER A FRIEND
competition will be contacted in September and the
results announced in the CWC Fall Wilderness Record!
