Time for our fall fundraiser- getting every animal sponsored!
Response was so great last year, but as old sponsorships expire, we haven't been able to hit the mark of getting every species at the zoo sponsored at the same time.
You can sponsor an animal in person when you visit, or by clicking the link! Check out the species list to pick your favorite animal, or choose one that hasn't been sponsored to give them some love!
You get a certificate, a photo of your animal, and your name put on display!
Thanks for your support!
