Sporting Events and Challenges
We're encouraging our supporters to be proactive and raise money for Cool Earth. Whether you do a sporting event or even an adventure challenge keep fit, get motivated and most importantly have fun!
By raising money for Cool Earth you will be doing something extraordinary-
- Protect the world's most endangered rainforest
- Provide a sustainable way of life for indigenous communities
- Safeguard the unique biodiversity of the rainforest
- Prevent the climate warming gas CO2 from being emitted.
Every penny you raise will make a tangible difference.Just £1 will keep an endangered rainforest tree standing whilst £30 will protect half an acre of pristine rainforest. We will plot your protected trees or acres of rainforest on google maps so you can show all your friends and family what your hard work went towards.
