Tiki Barber's Earth Day Campaign

April 23, 2008

Tiki Barber invites you to participate in his Earth Day Campaign – sponsored by StumbleUpon – to help the National Forest Foundation care for our National Forests!
A retired New York Giants running back legend and media personality, Tiki Barber is also an enthusiast for our National Forests and wants you to be too!



There are three ways you can help:


1) Bid on the Ultimate Tiki Barber New York Experience Charity Auction on eBay with eBay Giving Works, the dedicated program for charity listings, starting Earth Day, April 22, through May 2, 2008;


2) Plant a tree with a "Thumbs Up for Trees" with StumbleUpon;


3) Become a free Friend of the Forest.



Ultimate Tiki Barber New York Experience

The Ultimate Tiki Barber New York Experience (for the winning bidder and three guests) includes a Friday morning tour of NBC News “TODAY” set and evening tour of the NBC’s “Football Night in America” set, both with Tiki; have lunch with Tiki Barber in the legendary Rainbow Room at the private Rockefeller Center Club; and Tiki’s own premium seats for Sunday’s New York Giants game. The auction is being managed on eBay by Kompolt, a cause marketing agency.

Give a "Thumbs Up for Trees" at StumbleUpon

Show you care, go to www.stumbleupon.com/earthday by May 2 and give us a thumbs-up. With every thumbs-up, StumbleUpon will plant one tree with the National Forest Foundation*.

"StumbleUpon is thrilled to sponsor tree planting in our National Forests,” says Michael Buhr, general manager of StumbleUpon. “With our ‘Thumbs Up for Trees’ initiative, visitors and members can plant a tree for free simply with the click of the mouse.”

Our National Forests Need Your Help

The National Forest Foundation engages communities in working together to conserve and enhance our forests. And right now, we face an enormous challenge. With the dramatic increase in severe wildfire, more than 1 million acres of National Forest land are in dire need of restoration and trees planted.

“Tiki Barber has great concern for our National Forests and appreciates all that they offer – fresh air, wildlife habitat, drinking water for millions of Americans, amazing recreation opportunities, and wonderful learning experiences for youth,” explains Bill Possiel, president of the National Forest Foundation. “As a member of our Board of Directors, Tiki has made a commitment to caring for our National Forests for the benefit of future generations.”

By taking part in Tiki’s campaign to take care of America’s forests, individuals across the nation can help the National Forest Foundation plant thousands of trees – trees that will sequester carbon, generate clean air, provide wildlife habitat and revitalize wild places for all to treasure.
