Plant a seed and watch it grow! We are asking you to plant from one seed to thousands of seeds in the form of dollars towards this outstanding community project. 

This extensive $4.8 milion renovation and building project, which includes an endowment for future generations, will completely change the look and concept of what the Coulee Region has known as the Myrick Park Zoo.  The Hixon Forest Nature Center will move to a new facility on these grounds.

The aging zoo will transform from a place to go and just see animals to a destination where northern region animals can be observed in habitats very similar to the wild.  It will create a new home for "hands on" environmental education, and will be a community jewel for generations to come.

Just download the form and send it to the address below and you will be helping the legacy of the Coulee Region.

Quillin's Share & Festival Foods Community Dollars Program

Do you shop at Festival Foods or Quillin’s?  If the answer is yes, then please continue reading.  If the answer is no, then you still may want to continue so that you can spread the word to family and friends.  Myrick Hixon EcoPark is now participating in Festival Foods Community Dollars and Quillin’s Share Programs.  Festival Foods Community Dollars Program and Quillin’s Share Program benefits non-profit organizations by giving back 1% of qualified sales to non-profit organizations.  Here is how it works:

Individuals or organizations that shop at Festival Foods or Quillin’s, receive receipts for every purchase they make.  Either drop your Festival Foods or Quillin’s receipts off at the Nature Center or mail them to MHEP.  We then turn in your receipts after the end of every calendar quarter, and MHEP will receive 1% of all receipts (not including sales tax, alcoholic beverages, tobacco products and lottery tickets).  For us to qualify for purchases made during each calendar quarter (January – March, April – June, July – September, and October – December), we must have them no later

than the 5th of the month following quarter end (for example, receipts issued during July - September must be turned into MHEP no later than October 5th).

If you have any questions, please call us at 784-0303.

  

KWIK REWARDS Fund Raising Program

 If you are a Kwik Card user please designate Myrick Hixon EcoPark as your charity of choice.  Once we get five card holders to designate our organization, we receive 10% of in store purchases plus Kwik Trip donates an additional 5% on top of that amount.  We also earn 3 cents for every gallon of gasoline you put on your card.  This is such an easy way to support your favorite organization, us of course!  Please call 1-888-736-KWIK(5945) or visit www.kwiktrip.com to designate us as your charity of choice.  

 What if MHEP earned a penny every time you searched the Internet? Or how about if a percentage of every purchase you made online went to support our cause? Well, now it can!

GoodSearch.com is a new Yahoo-powered search engine that donates half its advertising revenue, about a penny per search, to the charities its users designate. Use it just as you would any search engine, get quality search results from Yahoo, and watch the donations add up!

GoodShop.com is a new online shopping mall which donates up to 37 percent of each purchase to your favorite cause! Hundreds of great stores including Amazon, Target, Gap, Best Buy, ebay, Macy's and Barnes & Noble have teamed up with GoodShop and every time you place an order, you’ll be supporting your favorite cause.

Just go to www.goodsearch.com and be sure to enter Myrick Hixon EcoPark as the charity you want to support. And, be sure to spread the word!
