Our first donation
Wow. I got on the blog and, as always, glanced at the First Giving button. I never really notice that there are no donations. Well, today I had to look twice to see if I was seeing right. It said 4%. WE HAVE OUR FIRST DONATION! A special thanks goes out to Monica Best, for an amazingly generous donation of $100! Also, thank you to whoever controls STC's facebook page, as I am guessing she heard about me from you guys! Thank you all so much for supporting me and the chimps! Scrappy is happy!

Merry Chimpmas!
"Chimpmas" is coming up and now is a great time to send a chimp care package to Save the Chimps (STC). You can either make your own care package (with CREAMY peanut butter, dried fruits, nuts, powdered Gatorade/Powerade, Raisins, Craisins, Jellies, Oatmeal, or Chocolate Chip cookies) or you could go online to www.nutsonline.com where they have two care packages for the chimps.

Why I made the blog
Hi, my name is Olivia and welcome to Change 4 Chimps.
I have loved chimpanzees for as long as I can remember. I want to help them in any way possible. I stumbled upon a website about an amazing charity doing amazing things. It is called Save the Chimps. They provide a sanctuary to chimps that were in biomedical research labs. Currently they are trying to migrate chimpanzees from the Coulston Foundation, a biomedical research lab that was shut down, in New Mexico to their "Islands in the Sun" sanctuary in Ft. Pierce, FL. My goal by starting this blog is to raise not only awareness of the issue of biomedical research, but to raise money to help Save the Chimps. I am going to try to raise $2,500 to migrate Scrappy to Florida. There, he will be able to play in the grass, sleep under the stars, and most importantly, have plenty of room to swing and climb.
