Calendar fundraiser gives Durban wildlife sanctuary new direction

THE CROW team has thanked Compass Medical Waste Services and its Compass Cares Team for the amazing work they have done on the 2019 Calendar Campaign.

CROW has been a beneficiary of this campaign for the last 10 years and is grateful to have the opportunity to work alongside the Compass team to raise funds for the animals that they serve. Decade of calendars raises funds for Durban wildlife sanctuary

“I would like to thank Ian du Randt, managing director of Compass Waste, as well as Claude Moodley, finance manager for Compass, for their dedication in raising funds for animal organisations in Durban. It has been an honour to work with them and we look forward to working on the next campaign. Their love of wildlife is admirable and we truly appreciate all the work that goes into designing and manufacturing such amazing calendars each year to not only benefit CROW but also the Cats of Durban. The funds raised from the sale of the CROW calendars will go towards upgrading our clinic as well as security upgrades to the centre, ensuring the safety of the animals as well as our staff,” said Clint Halkett-Siddall, director of CROW.

The team at CROW has also extended a thank you to all the stores and veterinary clinics who did their part in selling the calendars to raise funds for the organisation.

“Thank you to all retail stores and veterinary clinics that were so kind to sell our calendars. To the public at large, thank you for purchasing our beautiful calendars. Your contribution will go a long way in caring for the injured, orphaned or abandoned animals that come through our doors. Without companies such as Compass Waste, the businesses that sponsored the calendars and the public, we wouldn’t be able to continue on our mission to rescue and rehabilitate as many indigenous wildlife as we possibly can. CROW currently does not receive any governmental subsidies and is therefore totally reliant on the generosity and support of businesses and the public,” said Lana Bartholomew, marketing and communications officer.

Any companies who would like to sponsor the 2020 Calendars and help CROW raise much needed funds, should contact Lana Bartholomew on info@crowkzn.co.za or Compass directly on compasscares@compass.za.net.
