Nearly 60 years ago, George and Bunty Clements first illuminated lights on a tree for every donation The Fur-Bearers received through December. By Christmas Eve, our long-time leaders could warm themselves with the glow of hope coming from that tree outside their window.
For a time that tree was at The Fur-Bearers’ offices; while there is no longer a tree to light up, that hope still exists and is felt by everyone on The Fur-Bearers team as we approach the holidays.
Below please find a few images of the Christmas Tree for the Animals and a special, original painting donated to The Fur-Bearers many years ago by member Dorothy Clarke. This painting is the inspiration for our new countdown.
On behalf of all of us at The Fur-Bearers, thank you for all your support, and for being the hope that makes such meaningful change possible for the animals.
