This is your opportunity to help young birders!

As our ABA Tropicbirds team takes to the field, you have the chance to cheer them on and help them with their goal of seeing more bird species in 24 hours than any of the other competing teams, while at the same time raising money for the American Birding Association's education programs.

What will your donations support?
The money you pledge will be used to develop and support the ABA's education activities. Donating to the education program provides scholarships for young birders to attend birding camps and events, helps finance young birder and young adult birder events, subsidizes student memberships, helps with development of new programs, and gives us educational outreach funding. Please peruse our education pages to see the evidence of your support.

How can you contribute?
Simply download and print our pledge form and mail it to the address below, or pledge online to donate an amount per species seen in the 2011 Tropicbirds event. You can also opt to make a fixed amount donation if you prefer. When the events are completed, we will send you the results of the team's big day and bill you for the amount that you pledged. Get behind the Tropicbirds and track them on the progress page which will be updated regularly!
