Help a Chicken Help the Birds

$0 donated
Started around 11 months ago

Running a half marathon in a chicken suit to raise money for the birds! Will the costume or I make it to the end? Stay tuned!

Titirangi, Auckland

Help Us Help the Birds – One Chicken Suit at a Time!

We’re raising funds for BirdCare Aotearoa, a vital organization that rescues, rehabilitates, and protects endangered and injured birds all across New Zealand. Every dollar you give helps our feathered friends recover, survive, and thrive.

And to make it fun? We've got some egg-cellent incentives along the way...

If we reach our goal of $5,000, Dinesh will rock a full chicken suit and run the Auckland Half Marathon; 21 km of feathery, flapping glory.

But wait...there’s more! As we climb toward our goal, we’ll unlock hilarious milestones along the way:

🐣 $500 – Village Warm-Up

Dinesh will strut, flap, and squawk through the local village in full chicken gear to warm up for the big event

🐥 $1,000 – Chicken Dance Challenge

Dinesh perform a full chicken dance in public—your choice of location! Britomart? New Lynn? Newmarket? You vote, he dances

🪿 $2,500 – Ridiculous Team Day

The entire Crafty + Moody’s team will go full bird-brain for the day. Think beaks, feathers, and lots of bird puns....just for a laugh and a great cause.

🐓 $5,000 – The Chicken Run

It’s happening: He'll run 21 km in full Titirangi Chicken glory. Real feathers. Real sweat. Real effort. All for the birds.

2% Effective Fee
On average, fundraisers pay just 2% to use Givealittle. This is one of the lowest effective fees in New Zealand fundraising. We charge a 5% platform fee to cover the cost of running the platform. Because most donors choose to top up their donation to cover this fee, the effective cost paid by fundraisers is about 2%. That means around 98 cents of every dollar raised goes to the cause.
