Birdathon (Birders and Donors)
Supporting the Ryan Exline Memorial Scholarship

6:00 a.m. – midnight
Free to bird.

You can donate to the scholarship at auduboncnc.org/scholarships/.
Call by May 2, 2019 to be part of the birding team (716) 569-2345.

 

Join the birding team of educators and volunteers – either in person or by pledging – to support a local student pursuing a natural sciences career or education.

The Ryan Exline Memorial Scholarship awards a local student with an interest in pursuing the natural sciences heading off to college a $500 scholarship. The money for this scholarship is raised through the Birdathon. This is an (almost) all-day event in which the educators, staff, and volunteers of ACNC try to find as many species of birds as possible in one day. Generous supporters pledge an amount, either per species or in total, and one result is the $500 scholarship. You can bird with the team or show your support by pledging. Online at auduboncnc.org/scholarships/.

This year's scholarship recipient is Diego Rey. Diego is the son of Alberto and Janeil Rey and is a senior at Fredonia high school. Diego Is among the top of his class academically and is also a dedicated athlete competing in cross country, indoor/outdoor track, and swimming. In his free time he enjoys skiing, fly fishing, hiking, biking, and hanging out with friends. In the fall, Diego will attend Middlebury College in Vermont where he will pursue a degree in environmental studies.

This scholarship is named in memory of one of the very first recipients of the scholarship. Ryan Exline was a volunteer, intern, nature-lover, and attending graduate school at Duke University when he died in a car accident. His love of nature and of nurturing future generations of “nature nerds” lives on through this scholarship.

 

Special Information: Birdathon happens rain or shine. Pledges can be taken anytime online or by calling or stopping at the Nature Center.
