Our many thanks to Dr. Lori Sheeran for sponsoring this special day of sanctuary in honor of Dr. Jessica Mayhew on her birthday!
“Dr. Jessica Mayhew is a wonderful colleague, a brilliant primatologist, and an inspiring mentor to many primatologists now working and studying around the world! This day is for her to enjoy with the chimpanzees, in honor of her birthday.”
Jessica and Lori have served as long-time, dedicated professors in Central Washington University’s Primate Behavior Programs and are also valued members of our Board of Directors. We are so fortunate to call both of these inspiring humans our colleagues, professors, mentors, and friends.
Happy Birthday, Jessica! We are so happy to be able to celebrate you today and hope you have the most beautiful day! We truly appreciate all that you do to help ensure the chimpanzees and their sanctuary home continue to flourish for all their days forward.

Happy birthday, Jessica! It’s a pleasure to serve with you on the Board. Thanks for all you do.
Thank you Dr Sheeran for sponsoring this day of sanctuary in honor of Dr Mayhew’s birthday. Have a very Happy Birthday, Jessica.
Thanks to both of the Docs! Dr Jessica, have the best day ever! Make like Jamie and reach for the sky!
I so love these pics! Rayne way up high, as per usual, Missy ripping her way across the hill, Neggie and her sunflower prize, Foxy sitting froggy observing the foggy valley, and Honey B perusing the news with her chow!
I have seen that photo of Honey B before, but the penny only just dropped that she is looking intently at a map… Are we sure she’s not planning to tunnel her way out of there?! 🙂

Happiest of birthdays to you, Dr. Jessica Mayhew! Celebrate like the chimps! Surround yourself with friends, sip smoothies, get excited, be silly, play with all your heart, read a good book, and curl up at the end of the of the day in a cozy nest!
Thank you both for all you do behind the scenes to ensure the chimps live their best lives.
Happy-happy birthday, Doc Mayhew!!!:gift::bouquet::birthday::champagne_glass: Thank you for your generous support, Doc Sheeran!:monkey_face::cow2::hugging:
