The Quadric Project is proud to sponsor the ‘Gentlemen of Darjeeling’ team of the Rickshaw Run.

“Imagine the quietest, fastest, safest all-terrain vehicle in the world…Now imagine the opposite. Three wheels, half a horse power and more fun than any other vehicle on planet earth, the humble Rickshaw is undoubtedly the ultimate long distance, off-road machine. Despite being designed for short distances on road.

Now imagine the bliss of trying to get this untrusty steed over the Himalayas or across the Rajasthan desert. This then is the Rickshaw Run; an unsupported maniac of an adventure which wobbles over thousands of miles of ridiculous terrain. Probably the stupidest and the best thing you could possibly do with two weeks.”

Result:  $3000 was raised for Fred Hollows Foundation and Frank Water Projects.

Fight animal cruelty with cupcakes!

The Quadric Project is proud to support Milena Butovski’s Cupcake Day two years running.

By registering, baking and fundraising for Cupcake Day for the RSPCA, you are part of an exceptional group of supporters who understand the importance of pets in our lives. The cupcakes help give a surrendered puppy a home, rescue a neglected pony, provide emergency surgery to an injured kitten and save thousands of lives.

Funds raised from Cupcake Day go back to help the shelters, clinics, Inspectors and animals in your home state. For example: if you are raising funds in Tasmania, your donations will help RSPCA Tasmania.

Nationally, the RSPCA received less than 3% of its funding from government so fundraising initiatives like Cupcake Day are vital to increasing donations and awareness of the fight to prevent animal cruelty.

How your cupcakes can change lives:

$10provides an enrichment toy for a cat which assists in their behavioural development

$30provides bales of hay to feed the farm animals in our care

$40microchips a cat or dog to ensure that they always find their way home

$50subsidises the emergency boarding costs of the animals of victims of domestic violence*

$60provides warm bedding, heat pads and lamps to keep a puppy warm

$100subsidises medical treatment for an injured dog or cat

$200keeps an RSPCA Inspector on the road fighting cruelty

The Quadric Project donated $301 in 2012 and $200 in $2013, $500 in 2014, and $750 in 2015 =  Total $1751
