Snoozin’

October 14, 2015 by Katelyn

On this quintessential autumn afternoon most of the chimpanzees are baking in sunny spots while Jamie is walking her caregivers ragged. It’s the most gorgeous day. As I walked up the stairs to the greenhouse it was so quiet and appeared empty so I didn’t expect to find anyone. But just as I rounded the corner I spotted someone on the top platform, where it’s warmest. It’s rare to come upon the chimps when they are sound asleep as they always seem to hear us coming so I was pleasantly surprised to find sweet Annie, fast asleep and hopefully dreaming of all good things. It didn’t take long for her chimp senses to kick in and wake up, but she took her time, enjoying the warm sun and afternoon breeze.

In other news, we are nearing the end of Great Apes Giving Day with a little less than 3 hours and 15 minutes to go!! As of this posting, thanks to our amazing supporters we have nearly reached our goal of $15,000 with an amazing $13,830!! For all of you who have contributed, thank you SO much!! As one of the smaller sanctuaries participating in this event, this will mean so much for our chimpanzee family. And if you’d still like to participate in support of Annie, Missy, Burrito, Foxie, Jamie, Jody and Negra, we’d so appreciate it. Every donation really does make a difference in their lives.

7.5 Nail-Biting Hours Left

October 14, 2015 by Diana

Today is a big day for eight sanctuaries across North America who are participating in Great Apes Giving Day, including Chimpanzee Sanctuary Northwest.

Negra Great Apes Giving Day

There’s a bit of cash riding on how well the sanctuaries do with our fundraising efforts, so the next seven and a half hours could induce some nail biting.

The good news is that, whichever sanctuaries end up with the cash prizes, everyone wins because people are giving to all of the sanctuaries and more people are learning about the good work we all do! Plus, in the small sanctuaries category (that’s us), each sanctuary will win at least $1,000!

If you haven’t been closely following today, you may have missed some exciting moments on our page, like when we reached third place in both the most individual donations raised and the most dollars raised so far (BIG NOTE ON THIS: this could all change in a second, but, as it stands, we’re right now in place to win up to $10,000 in money given by sponsors on top of the individual donations we raise).

You may have also missed the $1,000 matching grant that was made by Karen and Don Young and was quickly matched. We have already almost doubled our goal of raising $5,000. This is exciting stuff! If anyone else wants to make a matching donation, get in touch ([email protected]).

Please do follow along, maybe bite some nails, and definitely donate and share our page so we can make the most of this unique day for Annie, Burrito, Foxie, Jamie, Jody, Missy, and Negra – and for the future of the sanctuary!

Burrito Great Apes Giving Day

Big thanks to everyone who has donated, and for those who have set up their own pages to fundraise for the seven!
