This summer, we\u2019re inviting children across Canada to take a stand for wildlife\u2013literally! We\u2019re making it fun and easy for kids to launch their own \u201cstand\u201d or other fundraising campaign and collect donations to help animals!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whether it\u2019s the classic lemonade stand, a garage sale, or another way to fundraise, kids can have fun while supporting an important cause. Your child can choose to fundraise for one of five different animals. No matter which animal they choose, they\u2019ll be supporting important work to combat problems like climate change, habitat loss, and illegal hunting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your child will learn that they can take a stand for what they believe in – and make a difference! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
