And if you’re still not convinced, we have some extra prizes in store for you!
- Raise 50 Trees and receive a hamper of Greenpop merchandise
- Raise 60 trees and join the Greenpop team for a day out at their nursery in Cape Town and one of their project sites, to learn about Greenpop’s work and what your fundraising is benefiting
- The fundraiser that raises the most trees of all will win a FREE ticket to Reforest Fest 2023 our annual tree-planting festival in the Overberg.
You have until 19 February 2023 to gain entry through fundraising for your ticket. Alternatively, use the fundraising minimums option and have until the day before the race to raise your trees! Tickets are given to those who raise or commit to 20 trees first. We'll keep you updated weekly on the leadership board. You can keep fundraising after this date, but all entries will be allocated on this date.
Already have a race entry?
Don’t worry! You can still raise trees and race for Greenpop, and be eligible for some amazing prizes. Your contribution is always welcomed: we need all the trees we can get!
What do you mean by "commit to raising 20 trees"?
If you are worried you won't be the fastest fundraiser and miss your spot, you can use the fundraising minimums option here. This means you will enter your card details, and by 15 April 2023, if you haven't raised 20 trees, your card will be charged the difference.
e.g if I have raised only R2,200 by 15 April 2023, but I have selected the fundraising minimums option and entered my details, then my card will charged the remaining R200.
This is of course entirely optional but guarantees you entry to the race from the moment you sign up for this option. You must sign up before 19 Feb 2023 to take advantage of this, then will have until 15 April 2023 to raise the funds.
