Many thanks to Tobin for sponsoring a day of sanctuary in honor of our 16th annual Love a Chimpanzee Day! (You can read more about the history of this unique celebration here!). In a recent letter to Burrito in thanks for his Valentine’s Day letter and regarding today, Tobin shared:
“As the first person of Chimpanzee Sanctuary Northwest who I ever learned about, you hold a special place in my heart and soul. Learning about you changed my life, and I will always be grateful…Of course, I love you and all your chimpanzee friends and neighbors (don’t you just love spying on your nine next-door neighbors?) every day of the year, but the day after Earth Day needs to be celebrated in honor of people like you. May you have much to feast upon and laugh about when that day comes around.”

For a minimum donation of $5 join us and the chimpanzees behind the scenes, ask questions in real time, and celebrate these amazing chimpanzee people with us! We hope to see you there!
Thank you Tobin for sponsoring the day!
Well, I had no choice. After Burrito sent me such a nice St. Valentine’s Day card and its accompanying letter, I knew that I would have to respond appropriately. Not that I suspect that I am Bubba’s only valentine: I wrote back that I am sure that he has many valentines (not to mention his BFF and work-out partner, Chad). Still, I think that Burrito Chimpanzee is as good a reason to love a chimpanzee, on April 23 as well as any other day which ends in the letter “y”.
Tobin, you are the best! Discovering CSNW changed my life too. Somehow, knowing all these incredible characters added a richness (a sparkle!) to my life that wasn’t there before. What a joy to celebrate Love A Chimpanzee ay with all of you.
Thank you, Kathleen, for your long-time support of the CSNW. Every time that I see a picture of one of the chimpanzees playing, or exploring their hills, or savoring a treat, I am pleased that they have such a caring place to reside. These chimpsters are loved on April 23rd and every other day of the year.
Thank you, Tobin for your support, enthusiasm and dedication! :monkey_face::evergreen_tree::cow2::hugging:
