The Orang Utan Republik Foundation (OURF) with the support of the Consulate General of the Republik of Indonesia (KJRI) will present the 8th Annual Pongo Environmental Awards and Benefit for OURF in the event auditorium of the newly remodeled Consulate General of Indonesia's Los Angeles building. This event has been rescheduled to November 13 due to Covid-19 concerns. This will mark the first time OURF will be holding its Pongo Environmental Awards at the Consulate and its first social gathering since the pandemic began.  The collaboration with the Indonesian Consulate is ideal as OURF conducts most of its charitable support in the country of Indonesia.  All proceeds go directly and solely to OURF.

The theme this year is: "Respecting Nature: Celebrating the Biodiversity and Beauty of Indonesia."

The event will be an opportunity for OURF supporters and guests to learn more about the work of the Foundation and the beautiful country of Indonesia as well as enjoy music and entertainment as we honor individuals and organizations who have made significant environmental achievements as recognized by OURF. 

During the evening, attendees will be able to bid on items and experiences offered at our Silent Auction and Live Auction. Out of respect to OURF's principles of protecting wildlife and animals, the food served will be vegetarian and vegan, tastefully prepared by Indonesian culinary professionals. 

We will be Livestreaming the presentation portion of the evening so others can watch and enjoy the Pongo Awards. 

Tickets will be available on this platform starting on May 28th, and sponsorship opportunities are also being encouraged so OURF can increase the level of financial support for its important educational activities in Indonesia. 

Past attendees have remarked about how much they enjoy the Pongo Awards program. This will be an excellent opportunity to experience our recognition program this year being supported by the Consulate General of Indonesia in Los Angeles.
