It’s Love a Chimpanzee Day!

April 23, 2019 by Katelyn

It’s that time of year again! It’s Love a Chimpanzee Day! As a way to celebrate how amazing chimpanzee people are (and her own special day!), our incredible friend, Monica Best, has designated this official “Love a Chimpanzee Day” and sponsors this day of sanctuary each year!

Monica, thank you so much for every single thing that you do to make sure the chimpanzees lives are filled with all the joy and hope possible. We’re so lucky to have you in our chimp family! You’re a light in the world for so many animals and an inspiration to so many humans. We all hope you have as beautiful a day as you help make possible for so many beings.

We also received an additional gift donation in honor of Monica from her mother, Linda Miller, with this sweet note:

“In honor of my wonderful daughter, Monica Best, as she sponsors her special birthday day on April 23rd.”

Thank you, Linda, for making certain that Monica is celebrated on this day as well! We truly appreciate the love you both bring to the chimps’ lives for all of us to share in.

Happy Love a Chimpanzee Day, everyone! The chimps are going to be enjoying a day of each of their favorite foods and as always, surrounded by so much love, thanks to all of you.

    Happy special birthday, Monica!
    Looks like Jamie’s writing you a thank you note, and Missy’s getting ready to run it down to the post office for you!

    What a thoughtful thing to do Monica! And, the same goes for your mom! We are all lucky to have you in our lives, whether we ever meet you or not. And, the chimps for sure are lucky to be surrounded by your love and generosity. Thank you for your gifts!
