Family Fun Day Car Rally with Challenges (just like the Great Race) to raise fund for Australia Zoo
Hello My name is Tegan Lather and I love to put on Fun Events that help raise money and awareness for Australia Zoo Wildlife Warriors Animal Hospital at Beerwah! Since becoming a Joey Ambassador for the AZWW wildlife hospital I have learnt quite a bit. Did you know that the hospital looks after thousands of animals each year: • 100 wildlife emergency calls are received every day • Up to 30 different species are admitted to the hospital every day • Currently around 80 koalas undergoing treatment • Approximately 70% of patients are victims of car accidents or domestic pet attacks So we really need to help out. Last year I raised over $18,500.00 in donations for the wildlife hospital. I was pretty surprised that one person could do so much, but it was just a tiny dent in the funds needed. So this year I am putting on a fantastic FUNdraiser! On Sunday the 27th of May 2012 we are holding A Family Fun Day Car Rally. Starting at the wildlife hospital at Beerwah, the participants will tour throughout the wonderful Sunshine Coast, stopping at a number of local attractions to compete in a small challenge at each location. Big Kart Track, Aussie World and Australia Zoo just to name a few! It will be like the Great Race plus fun in the Car discovering how cool Sunshine Coast really is! Only a min. donation of $125 per car (max of 5 people per car) if more there will be a small fee per person so everyone can enjoy the challenges! 100% of the profits go to the Wildlife Hospital! I am hoping that some of your lovely vehicles and friends might like to join us on the day. This would make a Fun Day into an AWESOME day with fantastic cars to look at in the car park before and after the event. I am sure a lot of the fathers on the day will enjoy taking in the view of your awesome cars as well as supporting a fantastic charity. We are hoping to have 100+ cars on the day so we will be able to donate $10,000.00 to the Australia Zoo Wildlife Warriors wildlife hospital. If you would like to learn more or register please go to www.wildlifeemergency.com.au to complete the registration form. Well thank you for taking the time to read about my event to you. Looking forward to hearing from you Tegan Lather
