Supporting Animals And Communities Affected By The Australian Bushfires
As event managers, our goal is to bring people together and make a lasting impression. And, for 26 years, SoldOut has created life-long memories for people across Australia and around the world, through moments of inspiration at events.
Now, as the bushfires which have already been unbelievably challenging for so many people continue to ravage Australia, SoldOut is supporting communities who need a moment of inspiration again.
So, as communities begin to rebuild, we’re doing our bit by helping the thousands of animals affected by the horrific tragedy of these fires, because when natural disasters happen, Australian animals are at their most vulnerable.
We’re supporting RSPCA NSW to collect and deliver essential items like pet food, treats, beds, blankets, toys, cat litter, leads, collars and more to distribute to animals in need on the NSW North Coast.
How it works
1. Tell your colleagues, friends and family you’re collecting essential goods for animals affected by the bushfires. Wish list of essential items listed below.
2. Deliver items to the RSPCA Sydney Shelter or to SoldOut’s warehouse in Sydney, NSW. We ask for items to be delivered by Friday 27 November. Drop off location details below.
If you can’t make a delivery in person, please consider ordering items from Petbarn or Western Pet Supplies which can be delivered to RSPCA NSW or SoldOut on your behalf.
3. RSPCA NSW and SoldOut will distribute all donations to communities most in need throughout the NSW North Coast.
Thank you in advance for your wonderful support, it is greatly appreciated and will provide practical assistance when it is most needed.
