During the 21-22 program year, the Hands4Hope Club at El Dorado High School raised awareness and collected funds for an animal at Sierra Wildlife Rescue (SWR). Sierra Wildlife Rescue, a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, is dedicated to the mission of preserving El Dorado County’s wildlife through public education and by rehabilitating and releasing injured and orphaned native animal species.

​

The club's goal was to raise funds to build an enclosure for a new animal ambassador named "Raspberry". She is a miner cat, ringtail, that was spotted on the side of the road near a raspberry patch. After it was observed that her mother never returned after several hours, she was brought to SWR for help. She was not a candidate for release, so hopefully she will become the newest ambassador for the education program.   

UPDATE:

El Dorado HS Hands4Hope Club raised $357.
