We’re lucky to have a great Jurassic community which tends to rally around the need to make a difference through good causes. We’ve seen it in the past with our own Jurassic Gives Back campaign, and now we are excited to share another campaign spearheaded by Neemz over on the Jurassic Your World Instagram Account.
The ‘Jurassic Toy Drive’ aims to bring fans together with the goal of raising money to purchase Jurassic toys for charities such as The Orange County Rescue Mission and Toys For Tots. Tim from Collect Jurassic is also involved in the campaign – ensuring that young people in Illinois, as well as California, get a positive boost this Christmas.
At the time of writing this article the fundraising campaign page, found here, has achieved over $1,500 – with just $500 left to hit its goal. We’re confident the campaign is going to heat its target before the deadline, but every little helps, so we wanted to do our part to encourage additional donations.
On my Twitter account, from 23rd of November 2020 until 28th of November 2020, any community member making a donation of $2 or more will have an opportunity to win a figure of Toro the Carnotaurus from Camp Cretaceous. Collect Jurassic are also running a similar opportunity for donors to have a chance at winning an SDCC Nedry – so not only can your money make a difference, but you also have a chance at winning some cool Jurassic loot this Christmas.
This year has been tough for many of us – and we appreciate money is tight right now. Please don’t feel pressured to donate if you are unable too – that’s OK. Sharing this campaign around the community and ensuring that we raise awareness can make a huge difference, too.
Let’s come together and show people why the Jurassic Community is so great, by using our collective power to make a difference to the lives of disadvantaged children this Christmas.
