Racine & Me: Mother's Day Brunch and more at Racine Zoo!
RACINE, WI (CBS 58) -- Mother's Day is around the corner and the Racine Zoo has a fun idea on how you can celebrate mom!
All In for the Animals Fundraiser
From now until May 17, we would like to ask you to reach into your hearts and help the Racine Zoo make a difference. Our Animal Care Department provides essential daily and specialized veterinary care to over 300 animals and 75 unique species that make your trip to the Zoo so memorable. Racine Zoo is accredited by the Association of Zoos and Aquariums, which means we are held to the "gold standard" of animal care. For a nonprofit like Racine Zoo, it is a steep price tag to maintain this level of care. Donors place a crucial role to keep our 103-year-old zoo running. Through the generous support of the community, Racine Zoo can continue to provide our beloved animals with the care they need. Our mission is to educate and inspire our guests and the community while providing an affordable wildlife experience that improves the bond between people and nature for years to come.
Our goal for All In for the Animals is to raise much needed funds for the Zoo. Will you help us make this possible? Show your love and support through a donation. A gift of any size makes a difference as it will be matched by Ruud Family Foundation for up to $5,000! Visit: https://racinezoo.org/all-in-for-the-animals
