Marathon Wild Bird Center Receives CFFK Grant

Marathon Wild Bird Center was awarded $4,000 by the Community Foundation of the Florida Keys through its “Vision 20/20” Grant Program.

The grant will support “I Wanna Fly in the Sky: A Bird’s and Wildlife Collision Awareness Project,” a project to educate schoolchildren from kindergarten to second grade to dispel myths, be observant, and reduce the hazards that Keys’ resident and migrating wild birds encounter, including such topics as flying into windows.

“Vision 20/20” grants are made possible by generous donors who made legacy gifts to the Foundation from their estate plans.
