Bowling for Rhinos

Joins Staten Island Zoo's AAZK Chapter at Showplace Entertainment Center for a night of bowling, refreshments, and rhino conservation!

Each year the American Association of Zookeepers (AAZK) sponsors fund raising bowling events around the globe called Bowling For Rhinos. 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!

Tickets include 2 hours of bowling, shoe rental, soda, and a slice of pizza! Raffles, 50/50, silent auction, and merchandise will be available. 100% of proceeds goes to BFR!
