SUMMARY:EWT Online Auction
DESCRIPTION:\nEWT Online Auction for the Benefit of Species, Habitats and People\n\nYOU are not just a bidder, YOU are our donation hero! Thank you for your incredible support!\nTo celebrate 50 years of conservation, the Endangered Wildlife Trust is offering you the opportunity to bid on some fantastic sponsored items via a fun online auction.\n🕒 Bidding ends on June 9th, 2024 – don’t miss your chance!\nEvery bid counts. Every bid makes a difference. Join us now and be a part of something extraordinary!\n\n\nThe aim of the auction is to raise at least R300 000.00 for the EWT’s work to conserve threatened species and ecosystems in southern and East Africa to the benefit of all people.\nThe host for the live auction, which marks the end of the EWTs 50th anniversary celebrations, is The Expedition Project.\nWhat started as one man’s dream in 1973 has grown into an unconquerable force in the fight against extinction. In the past 50 years, the EWT has achieved immeasurable gains for wildlife conservation, our natural heritage and resources, culture and livelihoods. We fight not only for species and their habitats but for the fundamental human right to an environment that is not harmful to one’s health and well-being.\nThe auction catalogue can be viewed here: https://charityauction.bid/ewt\nWatch the live stream replay of the auction launch, showing you how it works, what items are available for bidding, and what we are fundraising for: https://streamyard.com/watch/juyYjq3wcVy9\nFor more information contact: auctions@theexpeditionproject.com or tammyb@ewt.org.za\n\nWatch the live stream replay here\n\n\n\n\n————————–\n\n\nA bit more about the auction:\nWhat is the purpose of the auction?  Hosting an auction such as this raises much needed funds for essential projects that The EWT does and boosts destination tourism for the amazing towns and communities where our sponsors have donated auction items from.  This, in turn, benefits people, jobs, well-being and everyone connected to the towns and communities where the projects and tourism takes place. Which can then in-turn revive small town economies.\nWhat items will be auctioned? The auction comprises mainly special accommodation prizes, which are  based in wonderful parts of our beautiful country. These have been generously sponsored by our long-term supporters.

Special thanks to The Expedition Project ( https://theexpeditionproject.com/consultancy/ ) for hosting our online auction.\nWhy those items?

We are hosting an online auction which closes on 2 June, as well as two live auctions. One at our Copperleaf golf day on the 24th of May ( https://event.auctria.com/9d2c46a3-81e2-4886-9423-4f23f1cada8b/7853ae2f101c4abdb51d19f5fc7914aa ) and the other at our Stellenbosch golf day on the 31 May ( https://event.auctria.com/9d2c46a3-81e2-4886-9423-4f23f1cada8b/2c3768cdef4741789135d077a7bf26e2 ).
