Fundraise the furry way!

Our target for the Great Gorilla Run 2010 is to find 800 people willing to Go Ape for the day and raise a minimum of £400 sponsorship to help us save one of the world’s most endangered creatures.

If every person raises their individual target it will make a huge difference to the work of the Gorilla Organization. You’ll be helping to save the world’s last remaining gorillas who are targeted by poachers and illegal game hunters, threatened by the effects of civil war and human disease and face losing their beautiful forest habitat as a result of deforestation and human encroachment.

By taking part in the Great Gorilla Run you’ll be helping to raise over £300,000 to help fund more than 20 key projects dedicated to the protection and preservation of the gorillas. These include:

• Ranger patrols
• Forest-dwelling peopleEducation
• Tree planting
• Community development

£400 might initially seem like a daunting task. However, if you can find 20 people to sponsor you for just £20 each, you’re there. And don’t just think about asking your friends, family and work colleagues. Ask the company you work to match fund the money you raise or do a fundraising event. There’s many ways to raise the sponsorship and once you’re signed up we’ll send you a fundraising pack full of ideas and guidelines.

We’ll also automatically set up your personal online fundraising page with a link you can email to your friends, family and colleagues – fundraising the easy way!

And of course you’ll have the best fundraising tool there is - a gorilla suit!
