Campaign Details
#GivingZOOday, in partnership with #GivingTuesday, is about the impact zoos and aquariums have on their communities by engaging visitors to be stewards of the environment and saving species from extinction. It's also about how these institutions give back by mentoring their staff and volunteers to support a wide range of causes. This year, we would like to ask you to reach out your hearts and help the Racine Zoo make a difference.
EVERY DONATED DOLLAR UP TO OUR GOAL WILL BE MATCHED! Thank you to the RUUD Family Foundation for your amazing generosity and support!
Help us fill our grid with love! Since you're helping our animals, we want to see yours! Upload photos of your pets, yourself, nature, or your favorite memory at the Racine Zoo!
Each and every day, the Racine Zoo provides memorable experiences to connect people with nature and inspire them to protect animals. As a non-profit, privately funded zoological park in the southeast Wisconsin area, the Racine Zoo relies on generous community support to provide annual operating, animal care, maintenance, and many programs and events. Donors play a crucial role in the success of the Racine Zoo's education and conservation initiatives.
Our animals need to eat! Our keepers work hard to prepare specific diets for every animal to make sure they're getting the proper nutrition. Along with medications, vet care, and prescriptions, the price tag is steep for a non-profit. Every dollar truly makes a difference for our loving animals!
Please share this GivingGrid with your fellow wildlife enthusiasts!
