Become a WSPA Animal hero
Imagine being a hero for animals in need worldwide. By fundraising for WSPA, you can help to transform the lives of animals from all walks of life, from bears, orangutans and elephants to whales, stray dogs and working horses. Together we can create a world where animals matter and cruelty ends.
The easiest way to fundraise is to do so online. We have partnered with Everyday Hero to provide a simple way for your friends, family and colleagues to support your fundraising efforts. Just click this link to create your own fundraising page now!
If you prefer collecting cash donations by selling chocolates, cupcakes, throwing a BBQ party etc, then please do not hesitate to contact us for ideas and information on how to organise this.
Another great way to fundraise is to take part in a public event like City2Surf and Run Melbourne. This means that you can focus on your fundraising and leave the organising to someone else. And, as you’ll see, using the Everyday Hero website makes the fundraising part easy too!
