GIVING BACK TO NATURE
When you share your birthday, wedding, graduation, anniversary or other special moment with WWF-Canada, your personal milestone helps wildlife, nature and people thrive together.
Celebrate the special moments in your life
Hosting a fundraiser is a meaningful way to give back to nature and have a great time with your friends and family. It is easy to do and WWF-Canada will help you every step of the way.
ECHOage parties
Celebrating a birthday or another special occasion? Support wildlife at the same time by turning your party into an ECHOage party. Guests are invited to make a contribution that is split between a group gift for you and a cause of your choice. Plus, ECHOage offers personalized invitations and thank-you notes for guests.
