Ransom demands

by

Thank you to those who have already contributed to the ransom that will release the blog and the Burrito video! I hope you enjoyed the photos that were sent to you for your ransom donation.

We know how much you love stopping by to see videos and photos of the chimpanzees, so help bring them back!

Here are the current demands in order for the blog to be released and the very cute Burrito video to be posted:

Just one person takes advantage of the $1500 Candy Cane Weekend deal that allows you to be an Alpha Pal to all Seven chimpanzees, or two people take advantage of the Best Friends Pal Candy Cane Weekend deal that includes a calendar in addition to the other goodies the Best Friends level of sponsorship offers, or ten more people sign up to be holiday pals at any level. I will email you one of my favorite photos of the pal that you choose as a bonus thank you.

Learn more about the Chimpanzee Pal program and Holiday Pal fundraising here and make your ransom donation here.

Burrito will be waiting.

Candy Cane Weekend Deals & Holding the Blog Hostage

by

I need to hold the blog hostage. I have a great video of Burrito to share, but first, we need some more photos on the chimps’ Holiday Pal candy canes. We’re jumping on the Black Friday, Cyber Monday bandwagon (and don’t forget that Giving Tuesday is coming up!), and we’re offering two deals on the first ever “Candy Cane Weekend.”

Starting right now and only through the end of the day Monday, you can take advantage of the following deals:

#1 – Become an Alpha Pal to all seven chimpanzees at the reduced rate of $1500 (normally $1,680)! Be the first one – donate now!

#2 – For anyone who signs up for the Best Friends Pal level, in addition to the awesome best friends Annie and Missy necklaces (one for you and one for your best friend), we will send you a hot-off-the-press Chimpanzee Sanctuary Northwest 2014 calendar as a bonus gift! Donate now and celebrate the gift of friendship.

Help us fill up those candy canes so I can share the video of Burrito later today. Thanks so much for your support!

I know you want to see the video…

what to do with all that money you saved on Black Friday

by

Hopefully you all saw the Thanksgiving blog post yesterday with the video full of food squeaking that included Burrito inhaling a piece of Celebration Roast made by our friends at Field Roast.

For most Americans, now that the big feast is behind us, it’s the dreaded or celebrated Black Friday, the day that shoppers everywhere are searching for the best deals, and non-shoppers are tucked away in their homes avoiding the madness (maybe some of them doing some secret shopping online).

Pal Candy CaneLucky for all of you, we have a way for everyone to feel good about today – join our Holiday Pal fundraising contest!

Your donations literally put the food on the table for the chimpanzees (okay, maybe it’s not really a table, but you know what I mean), and we particularly rely on monthly donations to keep the bills paid and keep us inspired to do more, so please consider the Alpha Pal or Best Friends Pal donation levels.

Right now Foxie is ahead in the Pal fundraising, but that could change at any minute. Keep updated by watching the photos fill up the chimps’ candy canes!

You can become a Pal online, send us a check, or even give us a call (509-699-0728). I’ll personally take your donation over the phone today – there’s no way I’m facing any shopping crowds, so I’ll just be sitting here in the office with the phone waiting for you to call.

If you’re still looking for shopping deals, Zazzle is offering 60% off calendars (and a bunch of other sales), so you can pick up your 2014 Chimpanzee Sanctuary Northwest calendar for a bargain price. You may as well get a few for gifts. Just visit the CSNW Zazzle store, get your shopping fix by selecting lots of items, and enter the promocode: BLKFRIZAZZLE when you check out. Let us know what you think about the calendar this year!

Hang in there, and don’t forget that you can always come visit the blog to watch videos and see photos of the chimps to remind you of your primate family at a distance and take your mind off of shopping or any other holiday stress. The chimps are here for you because you are there for them.
