R50 120 was donated to the FOUR PAWS Animal Welfare Foundation by Nu Metro Cinemas last week – to “Rise Up and Roar” for one of the 21st century’s most important conservation causes. A donation drive was launched in July, whereby cinemagoers nationwide were given an opportunity to donate R5 as part of their movie ticket purchases online and in-cinema to raise funds aimed at saving South Africa’s lions. “We will continue to support the wonderful work done by organisations such as FOUR PAWS – making the world a better place for our children, and their children’s children,” said Chantelle Burrows, Nu Metro Cinemas: Marketing & Content Executive.
