An ADOPT an Animal sponsorship is an opportunity for your school or youth group to get involved and to help us feed the zoo’s animals. Inspire children ages 5–12 to learn the importance of wildlife conservation and teamwork. Choose a favorite animal—one that symbolizes your school mascot or reflects your concern for a specific endangered animal—then, develop a creative way to raise money for your ADOPT an Animal donation.
