Legacy Greenwing Program
For a one time membership fee of $200, the Legacy Greenwing membership covers a youth's Greenwing membership through age 17, then his or her adult membership ($25 annually) through age 21. Each Legacy Greenwing receives a Legacy Greenwing certificate and special pin, plus all of the above listed Greenwing membership benefits according to age group.
In addition, all of the monies raised through the Legacy Greenwing program are earmarked for a Legacy Greenwing project on the prairie breeding grounds of Canada. Each youth's name is cast onto a bronze plaque erected on the site of the project. Photographs of the plaque and project are provided to the youth when the project dedication is held.
