Challenge yourself & spend a Night In A Cage

Join us on Saturday April 13th, 2024, to experience a Night In A Cage and support endangered bears. Spare a thought for the sun and moon bears trapped in tiny cages, starved and mutilated for bile extraction.

Register today and share your page to raise awareness and donations. Make a 'cage' out of anything - a cardboard box, a tent, even blankets! Every dollar counts, and your efforts will make a difference.

With your help, more bears can be rescued. Follow the lead of our founder, Mary Hutton, and spend a Night In A Cage. If Mary can do it, you can too! Thank you.
