Raise money for Polar Bears and Bare all on a ¾ mile naked dash around Yorkshire Wildlife Park!
Every year, we encourage our bravest supporters to get sponsored to don their birthday suit – and a polar bear mask – to support our polar bear projects. Open to participants aged 18 and older, this is definitely not your average fundraising event! By getting their kit off, our supporters are helping to raise money for this vulnerable species who is losing its sea-ice home to climate change.
Before you sign up to this event please read the following information below beforehand.
By signing up to WildLife Foundation’s “Bare all for Polar Bears 2024” you will need to pay a non-refundable registration fee per single person and by doing this you are pledging to raise as much as you can to help support WildLife Foundation’s work with Polar Bear’s international. There will be an amazing prize presented to the person who raises the most money too!
You will be required to pay the appropriate registration fee and bring a form of ID along with you to the event. Family and Friends can attend on the evening and tickets for this can be booked online, Spectator tickets are purchased on a first come first served basis and you must enter with the participant and be known to them.
ID will be requested at the gate for anyone Yorkshire Wildlife Park suspects to be under the age of 18 and no admittance will be granted if ID cannot be shown. The event will take place once the wildlife park has closed for the day to general visitors. Bearers will be able to enter from the designated time to register at Tsavo Lodge and undress for the dash. A secured changing area will be in place for you to leave your belongings. At the designated time bearers will need to make their way to the start line at to embark on the “Bare All for Polar Bears” dash. It will take no more than 15 minutes to do and you can either walk, jog or run. Once you cross the finish line you’ll receive a foil wrap and commemorative medal. For the person’s raising the most money for WildLife Foundation and Polar Bears International you will win a very exclusive VIP behind the scenes Tour.
