As a way to raise money for our wonderful animal ambassadors we have an exciting new fundraiser we want everyone to know about! We will be selling limited edition Alley Pond Environmental Center t-shirts! Shirts come in Children's Medium, Large, and X-Large, as well as Adult Medium, Large, and X-Large.
The shirts are available online for $20.00 per shirt and once purchased, APEC will mail the shirt to you for no additional shipping. Money raised will be used to help feed and take care of over 100 animals that work to teach children and adults in our community all about the wonderful world we live in.

APEC T-Shirts
