In April, 2008, the Lubbock Area Foundation Board of Directors notified South Plains Wildlife Rehabilitation Center, Inc. that they approved a $10,000 grant for food, supplies and veterinary expenses. Funds for this grant are provided from unrestricted charitable funds from the Lubbock Area Foundation. These funds were established by community-minded donors who wished for their endowments to meet the changing needs of our community and include Mrs. Fern Cone Endowment, Roy and Lela Furr Fund, C.R. & Virginia Hutcheson Charitable Fund, Hassel Endowment, Horizon Fund and the Gladys Leftwich Endowment.
The Wildlife Center is sincerely appreciative of this generous gift, and thanks the Lubbock Area Foundation Board.

When my husband saw it, he agreed that although the new bird looked like the finch but sounded like a cardinal, he said without hesitation, “It’s a cowbird that was raised by a cardinal.”
