— from Jackie Daigle for the Friends of Moran State Park —

Friends of Moran State Park would like to encourage you take a look at the twelve amazing non-profit organizations requesting your help this season through the Orcas Island Community Foundation.

Friday, Dec. 18 is Challenge Day! The nonprofit organization in the OICF Holiday Catalog to receive the most unique donations ($10 or more) this Friday from 12:01 am to 11:59 pm will win $1000 from OICF! So if you have been waiting to give, then Friday’s the day!

Please go to www.giveorcas.org to choose among your favorite organizations and/or projects. Of course, we hope that you choose Friends of Moran. Your gift to Friends will allow more families on Orcas to enjoy all Washington State parks in 2016. Thank you!
