Elodie Hagberg sponsored a day to honor her friend Patti Sims on her birthday today.
Most people honored on sponsor-a-day posts are somewhat unknown to us, but that’s not the case with Patti.
Patti has contributed to the hope, love, and home at sanctuary over the last several years as a very hardworking volunteer, doing everything from scrubbing the floors to serving on the HOOT! events committee. We are so grateful for all of her work helping the chimpanzees in many different ways, even through the pandemic. We are so pleased to be able to honor her, thanks to Elodie!
If I can get organized, Patti will be spending part of her birthday helping me get packed for tomorrow’s in-person HOOT! event!
I know Patti would want me to remind you all to get your bids in before the online portion of the auction ends TODAY (Thursday) at 7pm PT / 10pm ET. Throw a few more dollars towards your bids or donations in honor of Patti today, and check out the in-person items to place an absentee bid now.

Happy birthday, Patti! Thanks for all that you do for our chimpy people!
On the HOOT weekend! More to celebrate! I’m sure the resident spark plug sends you some birthday pant hoots in spirit.
Kathleen says
Happiest of birthdays to you, Patti! Thank you for giving so much of youself to everyone at the sanctuary. I’d say the look in Jamie’s eyes says it all. You’re a lucky person to be on the receiving end of that!
