It’s Time to Pledge an Egg!
Here at the Rochester Falconcam we’re happy to be able to bring you high quality images and up-to-date information about Mariah, Kaver and their families each year. Most of the work that goes into producing the Falconcam is performed by dedicated volunteers, but we still have expenses for internet access, computer storage space, equipment maintenance and more.
We depend on the generosity of our viewers and merchandise sales at The Scrape for nearly all of our funding. You can help to ensure the future of the Rochester Falconcam, and have some fun all at the same time by joining our Pledge an Egg event!
Each year our viewers try to guess how many eggs Mariah will lay. We’ve seen her lay as few as 3 and as many as 6 eggs over the past decade. This year, why not turn the guessing into a fundraising event with “Pledge an Eggâ€!
How it works:
Pick a pledge amount for each egg. When Mariah has finished laying her eggs, probably around the middle of April, we’ll post the final tally here at Imprints. Multiply your pledge amount by the number of eggs and send in your donation. See how much money you can raise for the Rochester Falconcam! Ask your family, friends, co-workers or classmates to “Pledge an Eggâ€. Just download one of the handy pledge forms below to get started. On behalf of all of us here at the Rochester Falconcam, thank you for your generosity!

I hope you get a good response, Jess. Maybe some schools can take this on, and classrooms that enjoy the Kodak Falconcam can pledge! I just sent a personal check last week toward your expenses, but I wish you great success in this “Pledge an Egg” project!

Thank you all! We’re hoping for a good response from this effort and it’s great to know there are so many generous people out there!
@Sunny – Check out the last paragraph of this Imprints article from last year where we talk about egg sitting.
