As always, WORT has many thank-you gifts you can look forward to receiving if you donate during the WORT Summer Pledge Drive, which begins tomorrow, May 30th!

Here are a few of the thank-you gift options:

$60.00 Level
Lightweight Bag
We offered this for the first time during our Winter Pledge drive and received great feedback from donors! This black or royal blue bag is lightweight, has pockets galore, and can be worn crossbody for added ease. Donors say it’s perfect for dog walks, traveling, or anytime you leave your house and want to move light. WORT logo on the front of the bag.
$5/month for monthly donors

$89.90 Level
Guess what we found! We offered an emergency weather radio some years ago. Then the price went up and it became too expensive. While spring cleaning, we discovered a box of them. They run on solar power, or by cranking, or by USB recharging.
Crank to recharge your phone, listen to WORT or emergency weather radio, or shine the super-bright LED flashlight. WORT sticker on the side.
$7.50/month for monthly donors.

Back from Last Summer: Baseball Hat with 1970s Groovy WORT Logo
This lightweight cap is available in black or light khaki. Its unstructured crown and pre-curved visor add to its comfort and looks. The 70s groovy embroidered WORT logo is a simplified version of a popular summer shirt we offered years ago.
Cotton twill, five-panel construction, adjustable self-fabric strap. One size fits most.
$7.50/month for monthly donors.

At the $100 level, back again is the glow-in-the-dark skull baseball hat and a limited supply of the WORT tote designed by Lynda Barry. At the $120 level, we also have a limited supply of WORT binoculars!

At our $25 level, we have reusable straw sets, and at the $35 level, a new WORT bandana design for your dog or for yourself!🐾
