WWF Gala Dinner 2009

WWF Gala Evening 2009

On Thursday 23 April, WWF held a Gala Dinner in aid of our work in coastal east Africa.

The evening, held at Chelsea Football Club and attended by WWF’s Guest of Honour Alistair McGowan, was a huge success. We raised over £180,000 towards our work in coastal regions of Kenya, Tanzania and Mozambique, to protect the diverse habitats and iconic species that live there.

WWF is extremely grateful to Ecover for sponsoring the night, and to all our guests who generously supported the evening.
