Thank you very much for your interest in helping sick, injured and orphaned wild animals by organizing your very own fundraiser! Fundraising for wildlife can be simple or complex – it’s really up to you! Here are some things to consider if you are interested in organizing a fundraising event for Toronto Wildlife Centre:

1) First things first! Pick an activity or event that you will enjoy putting together and facilitating. Other TWC supporters have held concerts, distributed donation boxes at local stores, organized drives at school, swum across Algonquin Park… click here
 

2) Contact Julia at 416-631-0662 Extension 3224 to discuss your idea, tax receipts, and ways that TWC might be able to help.

3) Gather a team of friends, family or colleagues to help see your event through. Planning can be fun and easy with a strong and dedicated team.

4) Decide on the logistics: Where will the event take place? How much will you sell tickets/lemonade for? Who will you invite? How will you advertise? What sorts of supplies/volunteers will you need to run the event? How much will everything cost? How much time will you need to organize everything?

5) Make a list of goals, deadlines and jobs – assign tasks to your team members and/or volunteers.

6) On the day of the event, create an event agenda, with detailed lists of job descriptions and roles.

7) Have fun!
