Be a Fundraising Eco Trekker! Adults create teams and get pledges from friends, family, neighbors, and co-workers to support GSNNJ. Go to http://gsnnj.kintera.org/EcoTrek2010 to get your team started online using our interactive team tool. (Note that Trekkers need to register and pay the registration fee, see info above.)

You can choose to Start a Team, Join a Team, or Join as an Individual. The online fundraising system helps you set your fundraising goal, customize your own fundraising webpage with photos and messages, and email everyone you know to ask for donations to GSNNJ!

($5 per duck, 5 ducks for $20, a "quackers" dozen for $50). The first six ducks to float over the finish line will win a fabulous prize!
