#GivingDayForApes

Giving Day for Apes teaser video

We are really excited to be participating in Giving Day for Apes on Tuesday, September 25th! This is a day of online giving to promote awareness of apes and the sanctuaries who are caring for them across the world. Check out our page here.

To spice things up, there are some prizes available to participating sanctuaries, so you can plan your giving for the “Power Hours” of 11am-12pm and 4pm-5pm PT. I’ll be announcing some exciting challenge donations during those times, so stay tuned!

Above is a video to highlight how important this day is and how much of a difference you can make.

And because we love you all, here are a couple of bonus photos I took several weeks ago that we I haven’t had a chance to share before.

Challenge for Friends of Burrito!

by

A generous anonymous donor has come forward with a $5,000 challenge donation to support Burrito and Chimpanzee Sanctuary Northwest today, on Giving Day for Apes!!

But wait, here’s the thing – there’s a Power Hour coming up from 4:00 pm – 5:00 pm PT (that’s 7:00 – 8:00 pm for those on the other coast). The sanctuary that raises the most in donations during that hour will get an addition $2,500.

We didn’t win the last Power Hour (congrats to Center for Great Apes!), but we did really good, thanks to everyone who gave.

What do you say, will you make a donation in honor of Burrito and towards the future between 4:00 and 5:00 pm today?

Here’s a video in case you need a little Burrito-inspiration:
