TEAM FUNDRAISING CHALLENGE

(Haunted Wildlife Gala Campaign)

This year, we’re rallying supporters to help us raise critical funds before we gather at Wilson Creek.

When you register for the gala, you can launch your own fundraiser as a team leader — inviting friends, family, coworkers, and community members to join you in supporting wildlife protection.

Follow these simple steps to get started:

• Visit the official 11th Annual Haunted Wildlife Gala Campaign page. https://givebutter.com/c/11thannualhauntedgala
  • Click “Fundraise,” under the Team Member section of the main page, and follow the prompts to launch your team campaign.

• Fundraise using only your assigned campaign link — only donations through this link count toward your total.

• All participants must be 18+ or have signed parental/guardian consent to participate.

• Fundraisers are encouraged to host events, campaign online, and get creative to raise support!

The top fundraiser will be announced at the Gala, with special awards and recognition presented live during the program.

Important note:

You do not need to purchase a gala ticket or attend in person to participate. Supporters are welcome to fundraise from afar if they cannot be there the night of the event.
