Investec Rainforest Ball raises over £200k for Sumatran Orangutans
Durrell are delighted to announce that the Investec Rainforest Ball, on 16th September 2017, raised £220,426, which will be used to protect critically endangered Sumatran orangutans and their rainforest habitat. These funds will be split equally between Durrell Wildlife Conservation Trust and the Sumatran Orangutan Conservation Programme (SOCP).
Event organiser, Zoe Hotton, commented: “I am absolutely delighted that the Rainforest Ball raised such a significant sum. I am so passionate about orangutans and I know this money will go a long way to help save these gentle apes. I would really like to thank gold sponsor Investec for their support in making the event such a success.”
Durrell are also thrilled to reveal that Investec will be the headline sponsor for the next major event in 2019, the Investec Wilderness Ball.
The date for the Investec Wilderness Ball is set for 28th September 2019. This will be an extra special occasion, as it will mark Durrell’s 60th Anniversary as well as celebrate Durrell’s new vision to ‘Rewild our World’.
Commenting on this announcement, Kevin Allen, Director of Investec said: “I am so pleased that the Investec Rainforest Ball was such a success and most importantly raised such a fantastic sum for Durrell and the SOCP to help protect orangutans in Sumatra. It was a really wonderful evening and Investec were proud to sponsor such a prestigious event. Durrell’s commitment to conservation is aligned to Investec’s values of education, entrepreneurship and the environment. We are therefore delighted to continue to support their work by sponsoring their next major event in 2019.”
More details on the Investec Wilderness Ball to be announced soon.
