Raffle for Zealandia Ecosanctuary
Edited to add: I managed to raise $1210 for Zealandia through your donations!! Thank you so much to everyone who bought a raffle ticket, I know Zealandia really appreciated the donation. I’m so happy that everyone got behind the raffle and we were able to collectively donate so much!
This week I’m holding a special raffle to raise funds for Zealandia Ecosanctuary! I thought a raffle would be a fun way to raise some money, and would be a bigger contribution than if I just made a donation myself.
With covid-19 putting a stop to all visitors and forcing Zealandia to temporarily close it’s gates, Zealandia is left without any income. As a regular visitor I’m fortunate to be able to enjoy the sanctuary year round, I absolutely love every minute I spend there, it provides me with so much happiness, as well as inspiration for my work. Wildlife populations in the Wellington region are increasing because of Zealandia’s work and us locals owe so much to the sanctuary for bringing more birds into our gardens.
I really hope I can raise a bunch of money to donate, and make a meaningful difference to help Zealandia while they are struggling. I feel like I owe it to them to try and help out as much as I can.
All the details for the raffle are on the ticket listing here, if you’d like to donate $5 and be in to win a bunch of native bird goodies please join in, it’s for a great cause!
