Budget Truck and Car Rental Pledges $25 000 in Sponsorship
The Tassie Rental Company Budget have become the foremost sponsor to get behind the strait4devils appeal with a generous pledge of 25 thousand dollars. This secures Budget as naming rights sponsor of our appeal and transforms our official name to the "Strait4devils Budget Tasmania Appeal". This pledge has greatly spurred our strait4devils team in our quest to raise both funds and the profile of the endangered Tassie devil.
