3rd Annual Pongo Environmental Awards & Fundraiser
The Orang Utan Republik Foundation (OURF) will hold its annual Pongo Environmental Awards and Fundraiser in a beautiful private home in Pasadena, CA. Our emcee will be respected veteran actor/activist Ed Asner, who will grace the venue with his amazing celebrity status in television and with human/animal rights issues. We plan to have other well-known celebrities who will help make the event spectacular. We will also honor several individuals for their achievements in environment or orangutan conservation as we give out our 2016 Pongo Environmental Awards.
Attendees will enjoy auctions, entertainers, delicious authentic Indonesian food, wine, inspirational speakers. Best of all, we hope you will be there to experience the joy of sharing our mission with others to save an endangered species through education and empowerment.
