BUFFALO FIELD CAMPAIGN

To stop the harassment and slaughter of Yellowstone’s wild buffalo herds; protect the natural habitat of wild, free-roaming buffalo and other native wildlife; and work with all people—especially Indigenous Nations—to honor and protect the sacredness of the wild buffalo. We pursue our mission through a variety of coordinated strategies: In the field: Our volunteers conduct regular patrols to track and locate buffalo. Teams monitor buffalo movements; document herd activity with field notes, photographs, and video; and remain prepared to initiate nonviolent action as necessary to defend these magnificent animals. In a great example of BFC synergy: our field patrols also collect scientific data for use by our legal and legislative teams, biologists, and other organizations—adding another layer of value to our field campaigns. In the political/legislative arena: We support a variety of efforts to inform local, state, and federal politicians and legislators of the plight of the buffalo—and the importance of wild populations. In the courts: Our legal team fights judicial battles to defend the buffalo’s right to roam freely and live according to their natural instincts. In the public mind: In addition to providing information for educators, BFC actively promotes the needs of the buffalo through various public forums such as community meetings; information booths in and around Yellowstone; select conventions, expositions, and festivals; our annual roadshow; and more.

Tucson Musicians Museum

Our mission is to advance the quality of life in our communities, across all cultures, generations and tastes, through preserving, advancing and utilizing incredibly rich and diverse regional musical heritage and resources. We strive to help young people from all walks of life, cultures and musical interests reach their potential and improve both their lives and the richness of life in our community through music. We achieve this through two paths: • The operation of a free public museum which each year, honors influential inductees who have helped shape our musical heritage, as well as showcasing art and musical artifacts. • Support and building the nonprofit mission of the Museum. The Community Youth Outreach program is a multifaceted program providing mentorship, access to performance venues, and education programs geared to teach young musicians the elements needed to succeed as a musician. Through charitable donations, the Museum can help underprivileged young musicians obtain instruments they may not otherwise be able to afford, access to instruction, mentorship, and performance opportunities.
