Windsor, VT (Vocus/PRWEB ) April 17, 2009 -- Simon Pearce is pleased to announce its support of the Vermont Institute of Natural Science’s (VINS) 31st Annual VINS Birdathon.
Simon Pearce Bird Paperweight
As Birdathon sponsors, between April 20 and May 22, the Simon Pearce retail stores in Hanover, NH, Windsor, VT, and Quechee, VT, will donate 100% of profits from the sales of their hand blown glass bird paperweights.
Simon Pearce also donated a one-of-a-kind birdhouse sculpture to be awarded to the most accomplished Birdathon participants. The sculpture symbolizes the company's philosophy of recycling and reuse and of supporting the arts and environmental projects. The birdhouses are made from wooden molds used by Simon Pearce master glassblowers to create original Simon Pearce hand blown glass designs.
Birdathon is the world’s largest bird-watching competition and a fun way to support VINS’ mission to motivate individuals and communities to care for the environment through education, research and avian wildlife rehabilitation. Registration for Birdathon begins April 20, and those who register before May 9 will be entered in a raffle to receive a free VINS partner-level membership.
For more information about VINS’ Birdathon and to download a registration packet, visit www.vinsweb.org or call 802-359-5000.
