Zombie Walk Cape Town: Walking for Charity
Zombie Walk Cape Town isn’t just about dressing up and having fun—it’s also about making a real difference. Since its inception, the event has partnered with The Lucky Lucy Foundation, a non-profit organization dedicated to rescuing and rehabilitating abused animals and uplifting impoverished communities.
Through this partnership, Zombie Walk Cape Town raises awareness and funds for a cause that aligns with the spirit of compassion, kindness, and second chances. Whether you’re joining the walk, donating, or supporting in other ways, you’re helping to give animals and people in need a better life.
About The Lucky Lucy Foundation
The Lucky Lucy Foundation was founded in 2010 after its namesake, Lucy, a pregnant dog, was discovered tied to a railway track with wire. Multiple trains passed over her, causing her to lose her front leg—but miraculously, she survived. Since then, Lucky Lucy has become a symbol of hope for animals that have suffered from extreme neglect and abuse.
Today, the foundation works tirelessly to:
- Rescue, rehabilitate, and rehome township and street animals
- Provide mass sterilization programs to reduce animal overpopulation
- Support the social upliftment of impoverished children and adults
- Promote education and awareness about animal welfare
By participating in Zombie Walk Cape Town, you’re not just part of a fun Halloween event—you’re also helping The Lucky Lucy Foundation continue its life-saving mission.
Why Charity Is at the Heart of Zombie Walk Cape Town
From the beginning, Zombie Walk Cape Town has been more than just a Halloween celebration. The event was founded on principles of inclusivity, community, and giving back. Supporting a cause like The Lucky Lucy Foundation is a natural extension of our mission to bring people together and create positive change.
1. Supporting Animal Welfare and Rescue Efforts
Every year, thousands of animals in South Africa face neglect, abuse, and abandonment. The Zombie Walk Charity initiative helps provide funding for:
- Emergency medical care for injured and abused animals
- Food and shelter for rescued animals at Lucky Lucy’s sanctuary
- Mass sterilization programs to prevent unwanted litters and reduce suffering
By walking with us, donating, or spreading awareness, you’re directly contributing to these essential efforts.

Halloween may be known for spooky scares, but at its core, Zombie Walk Cape Town is about kindness. Supporting The Lucky Lucy Foundation teaches participants—especially children—the importance of compassion toward animals and people in need.

Not all charity events have to be serious! Zombie Walk Cape Town offers a unique and entertaining way to support a great cause while enjoying the best Halloween event in South Africa.
