BEST FRIENDS ANIMAL SOCIETY 

In 1984, the founders of Best Friends made a promise to one another and to the animals already in their care that they would build an animal sanctuary in Southern Utah, where they could dedicate their lives to housing and finding homes for unwanted pets while advocating the importance of no kill. At that time, shelters across America routinely killed cats and dogs as the primary method of pet population control. There wasn’t a national voice to end the killing. However, as the founders began to broaden the reach of Best Friends, they quickly learned that others would stand with them. Over 30 years later, they have inspired others throughout the country to take up the mantle of no kill and have helped to reduce the number of animals being killed in shelters by 91 percent.

 

THE CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL TRUST

Established in 1994, The Children’s Hospital Trust plays a vital role in ensuring that South Africa’s world-renowned Red Cross War Memorial Children’s Hospital can continue to do the super work it does. The NPO is a champion for child healthcare and raises funds for all sorts of important projects and hospital enhancements. It’s a seriously worthy cause deserving of its own set of fans.

 

LAUREUS SPORT FOR GOOD FOUNDATION

Founded under the patronage of Nelson Mandela, Laureus Sport for Good has been supporting social sports programmes for 20 years with the goal of supporting children and young people through sport in their personal development, showing them perspectives and values such as team spirit, respect and determination. These children and young people learn to believe in themselves through the power of sport, to pursue their goals, to overcome setbacks and to take their lives into their own hands. Whether it is street football, skateboarding, therapeutic horseback riding, basketball or boxing: social sports programmes not only motivate children to lead an active life, they also give them long-term support. Laureus promotes these programmes in the long term - and not just financially. The foundation connects organisations with each other and with potential partners, advises on possible scaling and supports public relations.
