Golden Gate Bird Alliance Birdathon 2023

During our biggest annual fundraiser of the year you have an opportunity to help raise money to protect local birds and their habitat through the simple act of birding! Think walkathon, but instead of logging your miles you'll be logging the number of bird species you observe while you're out.

After you create a fundraising campaign page and share your page with friends and family, you can then move onto the most enjoyable part, birding of course.

The How, When, and Where you decide to go birding is up to you, as long as it happens between March 11 and May 15, we're happy. Want to bird from your backyard? Perfect. Plan on birding everyday until the end of the campaign period? More power to you!

Participating in this way is completely free and all birding skill levels are welcome to join in on the fun.

We are excited and grateful to have you on board as a fundraiser for Golden Gate Audubon Birdathon 2023! Your fundraising page is where you’ll send family and friends to donate, and where you can track all your efforts.
