EFA is sponsoring a Tombola (raffle) Fundraiser for Animals with To Happy Vegans http://tohappyvegans.com The event will be on the 6th of February in Bath, England. EFA will be donating at least 30 prizes for the raffle, and we get to choose which charity will receive the funds raised! Please leave a comment on this blog entry by Jan. 10 with your charity suggestion and letting me know if you can donate an animal product free item(s).
I will send the address to those who can donate. Let's make this event a success for EFA, To Happy Vegans, and the animals!!!
From Mitsu To Happy Vegans: "The event is organised by VIVA! an organisation that campaigns for a vegan/vegetarian world. They are supported by celebs such as Paul Mccartney, Heather Mills and Chrissie Hyndes. This is their website.
Everything at the event must be vegan and it is a not-for-profit educational initiative organised by Viva! which is held every year. More information on the Roadshow is here.
Sasha and I started the website this year after both turning vegan at the same time. We wanted to share everything we have learned and make it easier for other people who are conisdering becoming vegan make the change. We have recipes, fashion, blogs, nutrition and all sorts of other information on the website. In addition to this we also make vegan cakes and are hoping to branch out further with this, everything we make is vegan and we use organic and fair trade ingredients.
In addition to our cakes, when we have stalls at vegan fayres and festivals such as the VIVA! one we also have a tombola (a raffle) [100% goes to a specific charity]. All the prizes are generously donated by vegan companies or other companies we feel share our ethics. The current procedure is quite lengthy and involves contacting every company individually as we come across them, so a sponsored tombola seems to make sense and will help save our time so we can concentrate on the million and one other things we have ideas for! This year we have managed to raise money for Marine Connection, VegFam, and HIPPO Charity.
This is our tombola from the last fayre we did.
We are both in full time employment and maintain our non profit website and prepare for all the vegan festivals in our spare time."

Oh i want to donate some silver pieces to this.
ReplyDeletewho should I send the stuff to
Id love to nominate my sanctuary. www.fortheanimalssanctuary.org
We are a small not for profit sanctuary that has grown over the past. We have 30 animals and just rescued a calf and soon to rescue another cow(3 years old). The 3 year old cow is infertile and was facing slaughter.
My husband and I run the sanctuary ourselves. We both work full time jobs to maintain the sanctuary. We don't have any volunteers and most of our life's savings has gone into saving the Animals. We do have a small group of dedicated members who help us during the spring and fall for clean up work parties. We are desperate need of fencing because our 2 pigs are now fighting with the goats and the roosters are now fighting. We desperately need to create separate living spaces for them.
Please consider a small sanctuary like for the Animals. Thank you
for the Animals

I'd like to nominate one of my all-time favorite animal advocacy groups, Compassion Over Killing in Washington D.C.
http://www.cok.net/
and while I'm throwing out groups that do great work, I'd also like to mention Vegan Outreach:
http://www.veganoutreach.org/
And if you're looking for a rescue group instead of an advocacy org, I highly recommend Carolina Pet Rescue
http://www.cpr-nc.org
because of the work they do for small and exotic animals such as mice, rats, hamsters, gerbils, guinea pigs, sugar gliders, degus, ferrets and many other species of "pocket pets" who tend to be pushed as impulse items and end up tossed away in shelters, on the street, etc. People often forget that these, the most defenseless of animals, end up homeless. Shelters are rarely prepared to keep these animals properly, and certainly few are able to hold them until adoption. CPR takes in these animals, provides full vet care including prophylactic parasite treatment as well as major surgeries for tumors and the like, houses each animal in foster care homes that treat them as they would their own pets, carefully screens every potential adoptive home, and if the adoption fails for any reason, will take that pet back at any time in the animal's life. They find homes for an impressive number of animals, holding each animal in their care until they are adopted or until they pass on due to age or untreatable infirmity, providing home hospice care as needed.
Anyway, thanks for organizing this!
Hi there!! What a fantastic cause.
ReplyDeleteYou can find me at: http://oceloteyes.etsy.com/
I would love to donate one of these original linocut prints:

(There is a limited edition of 10, number 3/10 is up on Etsy, I will of course be donating an original print of the same image with a different number)
If I can nominate a charity, the David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust is doing some amazing work in Kenya rescuing abandoned baby elephants and rhinos and raising them to return to the wild:
http://www.sheldrickwildlifetrust.org/
When and where do we need to send the donations, if we are chosen to participate?
Thanks!
