The Johannesburg Wildlife Veterinary Hospital have helped tens of thousands of indigenous animals for free over many years of impact! This spooky season, they’ve got a delicious fundraiser on the cards that anyone who loves pumpkin carving won’t want to miss.
Johannesburg, South Africa (16 October 2024) — For over seven years, the Johannesburg Wildlife Veterinary Hospital has helped tens of thousands of animals free of charge.
The first facility in South Africa to treat and rehabilitate the endangered Temminck’s pangolin and the team who have given many indigenous wildlife creatures a second chance—especially in cases of poaching or where animals have been a part of the wildlife trade—the impact of their work cannot be understated!
This October, the Johannesburg Wildlife Veterinary Hospital have carved out a clever fundraiser to support their hospital and continue the life-changing work they do. If you’ve ever wanted to carve a pumpkin creatively or do so as tradition; this is your sign to grab a pumpkin and get carving for a cause!
JWVH are inviting everyone who wants to support their work to carve either a spooky or cute pumpkin. The top 3 pumpkin carvings will win themed cakes for any spooky season celebrations; while the animal patients in their hospital will get to enjoy a pumpkin treat!
Everyone who enters will purchase a ticket at R100 (the fundraising portion of the gig) and one ticket permits one entry. Any kind of pumpkin variant is welcome. Once the carving is all done and you’ve taken a photo, drop off the pumpkin at the Johannesburg Wildlife Veterinary Hospital (101 Macgillivray Road, Midrand) between 9 am and 2 pm during the week, before 29 October at 5 pm when the entries close for the patients to enjoy.
Winners will be announced on 30 October and the top pumpkin creators will get to enjoy their cake winnings on 31 October onward; just in time for any Halloween-inspired parties.
You can secure your entry spot here, and don’t forget to email a photo of you with your pumpkin’s final look to info@jwvh.org.za!
