KOALAS NEED YOUR HELP!
Sadly, Koalas are now listed as endangered in some parts of Australia, and if we don’t act now, they could become extinct by 2050. Koalas need caring people like you to act by raising awareness and funds today to ensure they are here tomorrow.
HOW YOU CAN SAVE KOALAS
Register to be a Currumbin Green Guardian, it’s easy!
Here’s how:
1. Create your own Currumbin Green Guardians fundraising campaign to save wildlife and invite your family and friends to sponsor you!
2. Access Green Tools, which are tips and online resources to help spread the word on social media about the importance of saving Koalas.
3. Encourage people to donate to your fundraising page (did you know $50 can plant five trees and $120 can help treat a wildlife hospital patient!?).
4. Give yourself a pat on the back for making a difference! Plus, when you reach your fundraising goals, you will receive a Currumbin Green Guardians gift such as a Koala bracelet to wear with pride or a 100% eco-friendly 'Save & Protect' water bottle!
