a Call to Cards, my fellow Australians!
two more sleeps until Dig Deep 4 the Bilbies’ Giving Day!
from the organisers:
"So, what exactly is the ‘Dig Deep 4 the Bilbies’ Giving Day?
- It is a special 24-hour event where all donations raised on the day will help us tremendously with the significant investment needed to maintain our breeding facility and keep our wild living bilbies safe for future generations to enjoy.
What makes ‘Dig Deep 4 the Bilbies’ so special?
- Funds donated on Wednesday will be matched by some very generous ‘Big Diggers’. This means that if you donate $50, Save the Bilby Fund will get $100. $100 becomes $200, $250 becomes $500 and so on.
Why is this so important?
- With Australia’s appalling track record in species loss, we know that we cannot rely on anyone else. It will take all of us Australians working together. Which is why your support is needed - to fund essential land management and feral threats, as well as food and veterinary costs for our breeding facility. Not to mention we now need to protect the growing number of bilbies living both within and outside our fenced area at Currawinya.
Your support this Wednesday is a big step towards saving the bilby.
So please put a reminder in your diary for this Wednesday 23 March.
Let’s get this done together, dig deep and give the bilby the best chance to dig again across Australia! . sneak peek here - https://bit.ly/3InhE9Y
Woolies are selling Easter Bilbies (yesss, God's lad felt much better in the morning and came back as a Bilby, rather than vermin ok? it's chocolate. settle.). A whopping 20 cents (TA-WENTY CENTS!) from each sale of an appropriately packaged chocolate bilby (Darrell Lea) will go toward Bilby saving. kewl.
