Help Get WRT's Vital Tow Vehicle Back on the Road

Amount Donated: $115

On December 3, 2008, WRT experienced a severe setback when our much-loved and well-maintained 2005 Ford Explorer Sport Trac experienced sudden and inexplicable engine failure. As our only company vehicle had but 50,000 miles on it and was just past an oil change, this was totally unexpected. Our primary founder, the late Dr. Tom Kazo chose this specific model and added special features to make it perfect for our mission. Our Sport Trac establishes WRT's identity as it tows our canoes all over South Florida, and makes our dozens of cleanups a sure thing.

As we still owe over $9,000 on it, we have decided it makes the most sense to replace the ruined engine with a new one installed by Maroone Ford's excellent mechanics, for about $5,000. We would then have Ford's 36,000 mile/36 month warranty on it, like getting a new truck! Installing a used engine would give us a guarantee of just a few weeks and save only about $1,300.

The Donation Meter above graphically represents the funds we are collecting to get our Sport Trac back to work. Please donate what you can—no amount is too small—and check back to watch the red canoe change back to black. When we've reached our $5,000 goal, the beloved Sport Trac will reappear, ready to tow our canoes! And soon after, we'll have a Paddle Party Picnic to celebrate! Please share your suggestions for this celebration by emailing Donna Kazo at .

Hundreds of people have paddled our Team's black canoes over the years. If you are one, please recall the fun you had while making a difference to the environment in a remarkable, even unique way. Or maybe you'd like to soon get out there yourself with your family! Well, if 500 people donate just $10 each, our goal is met. Please use our "Donate Now" button above, RIGHT NOW, while you are thinking about it, safely using your debit or credit card. Or mail your check to Donna Kazo, President, Wildlife Research Team, Inc., 8530 Old Country Manor, #125, Davie FL 33328. Remember your donations are tax-deductible to the fullest extent of the law!

Notice: We have decided to eliminate the WRT Forums. With the use of Facebook, email lists, and other means of communication, the Forums are no longer necessary and due to their lack of use, spammers have set up shop there. Removing them is the best thing to do as it will eliminate any connection between WRT and spam!

Now you can make your tax deductible donation direct from the web to the Wildlife Research Team with your credit card!
