YOU BABY GORILLA! Well it's that time of year again!! Time to step up and give BIG to some little mountain gorillas in Rwanda. Last year we raised just over a hundred dollars to donate to the Dian Fossey Gorilla Fund in the name of Artie Lange. With that money we were able to adopt 2 baby gorillas and register Save Baby Gorilla as a member of the DFGF. This year we would like to raise at least $300 to adopt a Silverback Gorilla in the name of Artie Lange. |
Be the Big Donor!
Last year, Steve Langford presented the adoption plaque to Artie Lange in person and this year the biggest donor will receive the 2008 adoption plaque with Artie Lange's name written right on it - just like the one Artie received. Pretty Cool!
We aren't asking for much!
If everyone just gave a couple dollars we could raise lots of money of for the Dian Fossey Gorilla Fund. You would be surprised how far money goes in that part of the world. Mountain Gorillas are one of the most endangered animals in the world, so not only is this a funny gag to pull off with having Artie Lange's name on it but this also does a lot of good.
About the DFGF
Since its establishment by Dr. Dian Fossey in September 1967, the Karisoke Research Center in Rwanda has been the centerpiece for mountain gorilla research and conservation in the Virunga mountain region. Now, four decades later, Karisoke has produced an unequaled amount of information about the mountain gorillas and their habitat, and provides daily protection for the mountain gorillas.
Dian Fossey
Dr. Dian Fossey, one of the worlds leading female scientists, had a remarkable career, highlighted by many challenges and successes. In 1985 she was murdered in her research cabin in Karisoke. Her story was portrayed in the 1988 in the movie Gorillas in the Midst starring Sigourney Weaver.
