From Small Ideas Comes Big Impact
You can do almost anything and make it a fundraiser.
Every rescue starts with someone who cares. By fundraising for ORRCA, you’ll help support the rescue, rehabilitation, and protection of whales, dolphins, seals, dugongs in need along Australia’s coastline.
Whether you host an event, take on a challenge, or rally your workplace, school, or community, your fundraiser helps our trained volunteers respond when marine life is sick, injured, entangled, stranded, or in distress.
There’s no one way to fundraise for ORRCA - if you’re passionate about protecting our oceans, you can turn almost anything into a fundraiser and make a real difference for marine mammals.
