Hello, my name is Frank Verney and I am the Communications Officer for the American Association of Zookeepers at Lion Country Safari. We will be hosting our annual Bowling for Rhinos event on May 21st at Revolutions Bowling at CityPlace. We were wondering if we could get tickets towards our event for our raffle prizes. All proceeds from the fundraiser will go towards rhino conservation. Below I have given you some information about Bowling for Rhinos.
What is Bowling for Rhinos?
Each year the American Association of Zoo keepers (AAZK) sponsors fund raising bowling events around the globe called “Bowling For Rhinos” (BFR) which also encompass other fun events such as Winos for Rhinos, Curling for Rhinos, Rummage for Rhinos, et. Over 85 AAZK chapters participate throughout the US and Canada raising over $600,000 annually. BFR funds support Lewa Wildlife Conservancy (LWC) in Kenya, Ujung Kulon National Park in Java, Indonesia and Bukit Barisan Selatan National Park (BBSNP) and Way Kambas in Sumatra via the International Rhino Foundation (IRF), as wells as Action for Cheetahs in Kenya (ACK), which shares a portion of the land mass with LWC. These sanctuaries not only save rhinos (and cheetahs) but also entire ecosystems – orchids to elephants!
Where do Bowling for Rhinos Funds go?
100% of all funds raised goes directly to in situ conservation projects, conserving four species of rhino, their habitats, and hundreds of other endangered plants and animals. BFR helps preserve the black and white rhino in Africa and the Javan and Sumatran rhino in Indonesia.
We hope we can get your support with our event and look forward to hearing from you. Thank you for taking time to read this email.
Thank you
