CAFFEINATE FOR A CAUSE FOR TURTLE BAY EXPLORATION PARK Redding Rancheria

The Redding Rancheria participated in the Caffeinate for a Cause event held on September 17, 2020. The Tribal Council went to support the event at the 7 a.m. -9 a.m. hour (Team Wendy Dickens of First 5 Shasta & Jeff Avery with State Farm) of the Redding Rotary Club of Redding.

The Council presented a check for $1500 that counted as a donation to the Turtle Bay Exploration Park. This annual fundraiser benefits Turtle Bay’s work in cultural and science education, from care and feeding of the animals to subsidizing school field trips to booking blockbuster exhibitions!

ONE SAFE PLACE GOLF TOURNAMENT Team Redding Rancheria

We were happy to be a Master Sponsor in the One Safe Place Golf Tournament this month to help the cause. One Safe Place has stated there is a 40% increase in crisis calls and a 27% increase in visits for service at the shelter along with a dramatic increase in the brutality of the cases and recent local domestic violence homicides.

Cost of shelter is going up and donations are at an unprecedented low. The perfect storm of shelter-in-place, unemployment, elevated stress levels, and economic downturn has put One Safe Place in danger. We need your help now. Donate.

Share. SAVE OSP. Save lives. Because we don’t want to imagine a community without a safe place to go.

You can support One Safe Place and help to keep them open by donating to their Go Fund Me: https://charity.gofundme. com/.../cam.../save-one-safe-place1 8
