Organize a fundraiser for the Ancient Forest Alliance

Jul 5 2010/in Take Action

July has arrived and we are just weeks away from our $30,000 July 31 fundraising deadline. The recent slew of highly successful community-organized benefit events has gone a long way toward our target, and it would be wonderful to maintain this level of momentum.

The Ancient Forest Alliance is working to build the strongest campaign on just a fraction of the funds typically used by the larger environmental groups. YOU can help us do exactly that by hosting a fundraiser for us!

Organize a simple fundraiser for us. This could include:
– Holding a yard sale/ garage sale.
– Selling your unneeded items on E-Bay or Craigslist and donating us the proceeds.
– Holding a benefit house party for us (charge a fee or by donation…)

Another massive THANK YOU is owed to Cindy Bernicot, who organised a very successful night of belly dancing, beer, and burgers in Fort Langley on June 5th. Almost 50 dinner tickets sold for the event and, all told, it raised nearly $600 for the Ancient Forest Alliance. We are extremely grateful for all this support at this crucial early stage of the organisation.

After hosting 7 “Karma Classes” in support of the Ancient Forest Alliance (AFA), Bikram’s Yoga in Saanich (https://www.bikramyogasaanich.com/) mailed a cheque to the AFA for nearly $1000!

THANK YOU so much to Abbey and all the staff at Saanich Bikram’s. We are so appreciative of this support, especially at this formative stage of the organisation.
