Some of our events offer the chance to run in one of our iconic rhino costumes. The costume weighs up to 10kg, and we’ll help you prepare with a fitting at our London office and tips for training with the extra weight. You can even personalise it with a name. Past favourites include Rhino Tom, AntHORNy, and Big N Chunky! Check the event page for details.

When you register for an event, a fundraising page is automatically created for you through our platform, Funraisin. This is linked to your team page, making it easy for your supporters to find you and donate. If you’d prefer to use another fundraising platform, please let us know so we can make sure we recognise your fundraising when it comes through.

If you’ve received cash or cheque donations, please don’t send cash in the post.

Get in touch with us at fundraising@savetherhino.org and we’ll give you all the details you need.

The money you raise will go to where it’s needed most, allowing us to make the biggest possible difference for rhinos. If you feel a particular connection to a specific project or region, please get in touch and we’ll do our best to help.
