On Thursday, March 20, 2025, we gathered at Pumphreys Bar in Newcastle to officially launch the 3/300 Campaign—a movement designed to raise awareness and funds for the 300 remaining critically endangered Cross River Gorillas. Hosted by Newcastle University and joined by Nicholls State University SASE members, the event brought together conservation advocates, students, and supporters for an evening of fundraising.
Community Engagement – The event fostered connections between students, mentors, and wildlife enthusiasts, reinforcing the collective power of action.
Inspiring Talks - The event witnessed a talk from Henry French, a member of SNES, to talk about their hard work. John Daniels, Chair of CRGP to share the success of the campaign launch. George Hamilton Stubber who spoke about his Paris marathon training and encouraging the final call to action: donating!
Getting Involved - The event got students involved from a range of Newcastle student societies to play games and contribute to raising awareness.
"I feel so inspired, what a fantastic event launch" - Newcastle University student from the Surf Society.
We raised even more money to contribute to George's Paris Marathon in April with nearly £1,500 raised of the £2,000 target. Click the link below to donate:
A massive thank you to the SASE Media Team for hosting such a fantastic fundraising event and everyone else for making it all happen. It was a night of great success for a fantastic cause. An even bigger than you to Pumphreys who made the event possible and hosting the campaign launch. A fantastic space to get everyone together for a special night.
