The Fort Collins, Colorado, Foxes are celebrating endangered island foxes for the third year in a row.
The Foxes are part of a summer Mountain Collegiate Baseball League and again this year they will help raise funds for island fox conservation at one of their home games.
The Fort Collins Foxes meet the Winsor Beavers
on Sunday, June 8th in Fort Collins, CO
The team will raffle off a replica Major League jersey to raise funds to help support Channel Island foxes.
Fort Collins has a second connection to island foxes. Colorado State University at Fort Collins maintains physical scat and blood samples of island foxes from Santa Cruz Island. These specimens are important to biologists and researchers working on issues concerning island foxes.
If you can't attend Saturday's game you can still support foxes by wearing one of the many styles of Foxes' baseball caps. When you purchase a Foxes baseball cap on-line, the team will make a 15% donation to Friends of the Island Fox.
GO Foxes!
