Overview
- Friends of Big Bear Valley opened the public naming contest Wednesday, with entries accepted on its website only through April 26 at 11:59 p.m. PT.
- Submissions require donations at set tiers — $5 for one entry, $10 for three, and $25 for ten — and suggested names must be gender neutral.
- After the entry window closes, the nonprofit will draw a random slate of finalists for Big Bear Valley third graders to choose the winners.
- The two eaglets hatched on April 4 and 5 after a raven raid earlier this winter destroyed the pair’s first clutch of eggs.
- FOBBV asked fans not to submit the name “Sandy” out of respect for the late Sandy Steers, noting she supported the long-standing fundraiser and student vote tradition.
