New Zealand Bird Rescue is set to benefit by $3,000 thanks to fashion designer and philanthropist, Annah Stretton.
Over the course of a 10 day campaign, over 2000 nominations were submitted from individuals throughout New Zealand in a bid to secure their chosen charity a slice of a $30,000 gift pool in a campaign created and hosted by Stretton.
Bird Rescue was one of the nominated charities chosen by Stretton who is delighted to gift a portion of the $30,000 pool to the deserving organization.
“For me 2014 is absolutely the year that ‘paying it forward’ continues to be a strong part of my growth strategy and this campaign really is just the start,” says Stretton.
“I was impressed by the work that this organisation is doing and I know that this monetary gift will go a long way in their good cause.”
The ’10 Days of Donations’ ran from 14 December and culminated on Christmas Eve, 2013.
Lyn Macdonald is elated with not only the monetary gift but also to be chosen by Stretton as a worthy recipient.
“We are honoured to have been selected amongst such a wonderful group of Charities. We receive between 4,000 and 5,000 birds each year and at times we work under quite trying conditions. We appreciate all the words of support and nominations from our supporters and a big thank you to everyone who voted for Bird Rescue. Thank you Annah Stretton for choosing our Charity to be one of the recipients, what a great start to 2014!”
Evelyn (Lyn) Macdonald, QSM
