Outstanding Activist!
Kari
Nienstedt is a long-time activist who has donated hundreds of hours of
her time and talent to help farm animals. Kari first started working with
Farm Sanctuary when she joined our volunteer internship program in 1993.
Kari received Farm Sanctuary's Friend of Farm Animals award for helping
us build our California shelter.
Back
in her hometown of Phoenix, Arizona, Kari organized annual Walk for Farm
Animals events for the past 10 years. As a walkathon coordinator, Kari
has directly raised thousands of dollars for farm animal rescue and protection
efforts. In 2002, Kari served as the National Walkathon Coordinator, assisting
walkathon coordinators across the country to make the 2002 walk event
the best ever.
