Community Panda feature story: Nigel Denham

This month, we are featuring Nigel Denham, a dedicated WWF supporter and Community Panda leader. Last September, Nigel organized his first WWF charity party at a hotel in downtown Toronto in hopes of raising awareness about important environmental issues as well as raising funds to support WWF’s important conservation work. The evening was a tremendous success with over 120 friends, family members, and clients in attendance and raised over $5,000 for WWF!
Here Nigel tells us the inspiration behind his event and shares some words of wisdom with other Community Panda members.

What inspired you to take action for WWF?
I sincerely believe we are causing irreparable damage to our planet and more awareness and more decisive action needs to take place otherwise we risk the well being of future generations.


How did you come up with the idea?
I love a good party and it’s always nice seeing friends who you maybe haven’t seen in a while who came out to show their support.
Any words of wisdom for other Community Panda participants/organizers?
It’s a lot of hard work but the feeling you get from contributing to such a great cause and knowing what they do is worth it.


Tremendous thanks to Nigel for his great leadership and dedication to helping protect WWF’s wildlife and wild spaces.
