ARNOLD’S LOBSTER AND CLAM BAR DONATES $9,000 TO WILD CARE



*Eastham, MA –* On September 8th, Arnold’s Lobster and Clam Bar owner Nate
Nickerson donated all proceeds from the day, in honor of WILD CARE Cape
Cod, a wildlife rehabilitation center in Eastham. From 11:30 a.m. to 8:00
p.m., guests dined on ice cream, seafood, onion rings, and more at this
popular Eastham restaurant. The benefit generated $9,000 in support of WILD
CARE’S mission of rehabilitating and releasing sick, injured and orphaned
wildlife. “This fundraiser helps us to provide quality and individualized
care for injured wildlife, and to continue to raise awareness about the
impacts wildlife are facing on Cape Cod”, states WILD CARE Executive
Director, Stephanie Ellis. “WILD CARE is dependent on public donations. We
do not receive any state, federal, or municipal funding, and the cost of
running WILD CARE for one month during the summer months is upward of
$20,000. We have received over 1,400 animals this year. By comparison, we
received 1,373 TOTAL for the year of 2016. This donation comes at a time of
need, and we are incredibly grateful for Nate Nickerson’s kindness and his
love of animals. Thank you, Arnold’s!” WILD CARE strives to educate the
public about how to co-exist with and reduce impacts on native wildlife.
WILD CARE would like to extend a special thanks to Nate Nickerson and his
staff, and to all who dined at Arnold’s on September 8th.



Arnold’s Lobster and Clam Bar is located on 3580 Rt. 6 Eastham.

*WILD CARE’s wildlife rehabilitators treat birds, mammals and reptiles
brought to the center, with the goal of releasing them back into the wild
when they are capable of independent survival. Through public education,
WILD CARE works to prevent wildlife casualties and works to engage the
community in conservation through volunteerism. Since our founding WILD
CARE has accepted over 22,000 wild creatures, representing over 275 species
of native birds, mammals and reptiles.*
