Good News!
All month long, CBS 17 is raising money for the North Carolina Tortoise Sanctuary and featuring our work on their early evening newscast. Every day their next-day high temperature forecast is accurate within 3°, CBS 17 donates $50 and Michael & Son Home Services matches it. That's $100 a day for the tortoises, and up to $3,100 by the end of October!
Tune in to CBS 17 in the early evening to see how the forecast is doing, and watch for the giant check at the end of the month.
We're CBS 17's 3° Guarantee charity for October
Would you like to help the animals at NCTS? Please consider making a donation toward our new, energy-efficient winter tortoise barn. Currently, a significant portion of our expenses goes toward heating costs. A new, energy-efficient barn would provide much-needed space for our tortoises while reducing heating expenses, allowing us to put those savings toward helping even more of these incredible animals.
Nature is slow, but sure; she works no faster than need be; she is the tortoise that wins the race by her perseverance.
