Final Week Fundraising Push
// October 20th, 2009 // In The News
The largest climate action collaboration in Canadian history is only a week away! On October 24th, C-Day: Fill the Hill will join more than 4,200 events in 170+ countries around the world, demanding our leaders agree on a fair, ambitious and binding climate deal in Copenhagen. Engaging speakers, a 1000-person flash dance and great entertainment will make Canada’s banner event a day to remember.
As you can imagine, real resources are required to fund C-Day, and despite exhaustive efforts by a dedicated volunteer team, we require a bit more cash to ensure that C-Day is the turning point in Canadian climate history. This event that will inspire thousands of citizens is being run on a shoestring budget.
A donation of $5, $10 or $50 would be of HUGE significance.
Be a part of history. If you can’t Fill the Hill, encourage others to do so, and help us throw the event of the century!!
Donating is safe and easy. Visit http://cday.atypical.ca/get-involved/donate/ and click on the “Donate” button in the middle of the page. You’ll be directed to Oxfam Guelph’s Paypal account. Oxfam is graciously accepting donations for us.
Interested to know how your donations will translate into a fantastic (and minimalist) event? Below you will find some of the logistical costs we face in running this event. If you would like to help finance or lend any of these items, email program@climateday.ca and we’ll recognize you on the website.
In Solidarity,
The C-Day Volunteer Team
