Crash Bandihoot Kakapo Fundraiser Hut Spectacular
Wellington Brass Band attempting tough challenge to raise money for Kākāpō Recovery
Wellington
The most uniquestest thing you've heard of for a while!
On 29/4/23 New Orleans style Brass Band Crash Bandihoot will be attempting to tramp all their heavy instruments (including a sousaphone!) up to the wonderful Powell Hut for a unique evening, and all for a great cause - DOC's Kakapo Recovery.
Kākāpō are Critically Endangered and there are only 252 alive today. Kākāpō Recovery combines the efforts of scientists, rangers, volunteers and donors to protect the critically endangered Kākāpō. It is vitally important that we do everything we can to prevent them becoming extinct.
"Help us ensure a brighter future for kākāpō by donating to Kākāpō Recovery. Your donation will go to the Mauri Ora Kākāpō Trust – 100% of donations go to the health and vitality (Mauri Ora) of this critically endangered species. This work includes things like supplementary food to the adult kākāpō, the costs of hand rearing kākāpō chicks such as feeding, intensive care, medication, health testing, and equipment to allow us to care for the birds such as radio telemetry gear or incubators." - DOC Website
The event will be professionally filmed (for free) and videos and pictures uploaded here and on the Crash Bandihoot social media pages.
25 tickets are available to attend in person, or please donate towards a uniquely Kiwi mission - to help save the Kākāpō!
