Taronga Rubbish Run Fundraiser Night

Join us for an evening of fun and festivities for our Aussie animals in need!

The evening includes; canapes, drinks, trivia, activities and over $1,000 worth of prizes to be won on the night. 

As an extra thank you for supporting this event, a Taronga Zoo Family Pass (valued at $130) is up for grabs as one of the Lucky Door prizes.

We will be drawing our Taronga Rubbish Run Raffle on the night so if you haven't purchased raffle tickets yet, please click here to do so! 
(prizes listed at bottom of page).

Considering seats to this event are limited, the odds of you taking home a prize are as high as a turtle mistaking a plastic bag for a jellyfish.

Ensure you purchase your ticket to this event soon, to support a fantastic cause for our Aussie animals.

The Taronga Rubbish Run is back this year and I am so excited to be one of their ambassadors for 2024.
Rubbish directly harms our precious wildlife. Taronga’s Wildlife Hospitals are caring for and rescuing an increasing number of Australian native birds and wildlife, many of which have been admitted because they have ingested litter, thinking it is food, or been injured by discarded garbage.

Your donations help keep Taronga Wildlife Hospitals running so they can keep saving our unique and magnificent Aussie animals!

FAQs

Q: What is the Taronga Rubbish Run?

A: The Taronga Rubbish Run is a fundraising challenge set up by the Taronga Conservation Society Australia that encourages participants to get outdoors and pick up litter for wildlife! Picking up litter is a small everyday act with a big impact. So make a commitment to protect our planet and wildlife! Take on the challenge and "pick it up" to protect native animals and support the critical work of our wildlife hospital.
