“Hello __________,<\/span><\/div>\n

Please join me and the Bay Area Chapter for the American Association of Zoo Keepers (BAAAZK) in helping to protect rhinos and the wildlife that share their habitat. By\u00c2\u00a0participating with BAAAZK and its national organization\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s biggest fundraiser “Bowling For Rhinos,” we will raise money and awareness for rhino conservation across the world. 100% of funds raised go to the Lewa Wildlife Conservancy and Action for Cheetahs in Kenya, support efforts to help the Javan rhino in Ujung Kulon National Park, and the Sumatrain rhino in Bukit Barisan Selatan and Way Kambas National Parks through the International Rhino Foundation. \u00c2\u00a0The money raised helps pay for the park rangers who protect the wildlife in the parks and their equipment. For more information on how AAZK supports Lewa visit their 2014 report for AAZK<https:\/\/www.aazk.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/Lewa-2014-Report-For-AAZK-JULY.pdf<\/a>>. <\/span><\/span><\/span>Making a contribution is simple, easy and secure.
