CHARLOTTE, N.C. (QC Life) - The holiday season is a great time to give back. We suggest you “fly” right over and support the Carolina Raptor Center.
QC Life host Jana Angel meets with Lacey Sharpe, a Behavior Coordinator at the Raptor Center to learn why conservation and preservation is so important.
The Carolina Raptor Center is a community-backed nonprofit that does more than heal injured birds — they teach, protect habitat, and work to keep ecosystems healthy. Their mission is to ignite a passion for raptors and a responsibility for our shared natural world.
Every dollar counts at the Raptor Hospital — they care for 800–1,000 birds a year and have released 10,000+ rehabilitated raptors.
