the project
Teddy Bear Project in collaboration with Bronx River Alliance's Foodway Team is fundraising for a Monarch Festival. We are excited to celebrate with 100 visitors in Concrete Plant Park on September 3rd, 2022. The Monarch Butterfly Celebration will be a full day of educational activities for people of all ages to learn about the monarch butterfly life cycle and the nationwide movement to restore habit, while tracking migration from Canada to Central Mexico.
the steps
The Foodway Team meets the second Wednesday of each month to fundraise & plan for Concrete Plant Park activities. We will collectively open the meeting agenda to Monarch Celebration ideas and leadership roles. Members can use the Google Doc & campaign to implement their Celebration ideas.
Funding will be utilized for the following items:
- Festival expenses and stipends
- Design and advertising expenses
- Pollinator-related entertainment
- Volunteer appreciation
- Cargo E-bike & Monarch habitat creation outreach supplies
The funds will be disbursed August 7th for specific allocations from donor contributions.
why we're doing it
Educational activities including art performances, written materials, & coloring books will educate all ages on the lifecycle and natural history of the monarch butterfly. Milkweed plant giveaway, meadow planting demonstration, and butterfly tagging will encourage visitors to engage in conservation actions that help create high quality habitat as well as data sets necessary for monitoring monarch butterfly mortality.

Thanks to the overwhelming support we are receiving for this project, we have the opportunity to do more! We are expanding our event to include the creation of a Monarch Butterfly Habitat! In addition to the funds we budgeted for originally, we are increasing our funds needed to $5,000 so that we can recognize our volunteers with $500 and create this real live habitat for our beloved migrating pollinators.
