Help protect the precious wildlife of the rainforest! This online fundraiser supports efforts of Community Inti Wara Yassi to rescue, heal, and care for animals impacted by habitat destruction, illegal trafficking, and deforestation in one of the planet’s most vital ecosystems.

Your contribution will directly provide food, medical care, and safe shelters for these vulnerable animals, giving them the chance to live and thrive again.

As part of the IE Giving Season, we’re calling on the IE community to come together and give back! Join the San Diego IE Alumni Club for a beach cleanup event at one of the beautiful shores we all enjoy: Pacific Beach!

Enjoy a walk along the sand, share conversations with like-minded peers, and embrace the spirit of giving back to the community. Together, we’ll make a positive impact while strengthening the bonds of our incredible IE network.

Where: Meet between the Pacific Beach Lifeguard Stand and Crystal Pier

Let’s protect the places we love and make a difference—because together, we can do so much more!
