Wow! We raised 71% of our $10K goal from 111 donors during this short campaign.  Many of our donations were local, but we were also excited to receive several donations from Canada, Germany, and India!

We are well on our way to fully funding the 2016 Arizona Insect Festival. These funds will ensure your favorite booths will be there in the fall: The Arthropod Zoo, Build-a-Bug and Insects As Food.

Keep an eye on your email in the coming weeks for details on how to obtain the perk for your donation level.

Please keep in touch on our website, http://www.arizonainsectfestival.com, on Facebook, and on Twitter @AZInsectFest.

Thank you for your incredible generosity and we’ll look for you in the Fall in the Grand Ballroom at the University of Arizona for the sixth annual Arizona Insect Festival!

We are thrilled to be 43% of the way there! Thank you for your support!

We wanted to take a moment on this day to be inspired by George.

George Lucas gave $4 billion dollars from the Star Wars franchise to education.

We need support for education in Arizona also.

Please follow George's lead and consider giving to the Arizona Insect Festival today.

Your gift will offer open access to science and technology, and a greater appreciation for nature; an incredible impact on more than 6,000 folks!

You are just two clicks from a secure, easy transaction that is tax deductible and where 100% of any and all proceeds go directly to the Arizona Insect Festival.

Thanks to everyone for their generous support of the Arizona Insect Festival so far!

We'll be halfway through the campaign this Wednesday December 16th and would love to try to have reached $5,000 of our $10,000 goal by then.

Our festival has meant so much to so many! Last year, parents flooded our social media with quotes like this:

"Best day ever!!!! Thank you!!!"

"We appreciate the natural world so much more after attending each year!"

We've grown to over 6,000 attendees and we're struggling to continue to offer it for free. Your support ensures we'll be able to do just that next year and beyond. 

Please continue to share our campaign with your family and friends!
