Scott Rashid Assistance Fund

Scott Rashid needs our help.  His beloved wife, Susan, is currently in hospice for a cancer that will soon take her life.  His dedication to her over the course of her illness has recently cost him his day job he had been working for the last seven years.  For all that Scott has given us (and the birds) through the decades; we need to come to his assistance now. 

Scott has been a wonderful source of information and training about our Front Range songbirds, hummingbirds, hawks, falcons and owls.  Through his nonprofit, Colorado Avian Research and Rehabilitation Institute, he has rescued, rehabbed, and banded thousands of birds for research and to help ensure their survival.   He has offered free training to local youth and adults on banding, feeding and the care of birds for decades.  He has authored books and presentations to educate us on the birds we love and given his time to save the birds that only pay him back through their continued existence.

All funds collected will go straight to Scott to pay residual medical, funeral, and housing bills while Scott continues to care for Susan and can eventually find another permanent position. 

Thank you.
