Chimpanzee Sanctuary Northwest
Hope. Love. Home. Sanctuary
Today’s day of sanctuary was sponsored by Janine Clark in memory of Lilian Corrigan. We are always so touched when someone is moved to provide a special day for the chimpanzees in memory of a loved one or special being in their life. It’s such a beautiful way to honor that individual’s life and send it forward to make the lives of others better.
Janine, thank you so much for thinking of the chimpanzees today and including them in Lilian’s memory!
Today’s day of sanctuary was sponsored by Lars Foster-Jorgensen in honor of his fiancee, Becca Hine’s, birthday! Becca makes weekly trips across the pass from Seattle to dedicate her time and care for the chimpanzees and is currently in training as a volunteer caregiver. She is even choosing to spend her birthday here caring for the chimpanzees! (While this may sound like all fun and games, though it is in part, it’s also a lot of cleaning and very hard work).
Lars shared the following message for Becca:
“Happy Birthday to Level 3 volunteer, Becca Hines! Her dedication to primate care and conservation is inspiring. and we wish her a happy day with the CSNW Seven!”
Lars, thanks so much for including the chimpanzees in Becca’s special day! And Becca, from all of the primates here at CSNW, we hope you have an amazingly happy day! Thank you so much for all you do for us and we’re so happy to have you as part of the team. May all your wishes come true.
Today’s day of sanctuary was sponsored by Erin Yuhas, who in her selfless generosity chose to celebrate her own birthday today by giving the chimpanzees a special day! She even sent a huge package of goodies for the chimpanzees (and humans!) to enjoy. Erin shared the following message:
“This is my birthday and for my present I would love to come visit, volunteer and just hang out with the chimps! Since I can’t be there in person I want to celebrate with the chimps from afar! I’m hoping for lots of good food, presents, and all day fun for these amazing and deserving animals.”
We have truly amazing supporters here at Chimpanzee Sanctuary Northwest and are thrilled that the chimpanzees have so many friends invested in their care and well being.
Erin, this was an incredibly kind way to celebrate your own special day. Thank you so much!! We all wish you the happiest of birthdays!
Annie and Missy are always up for a day of joy and laughter:
Today’s day of sanctuary was sponsored by Tracy Headley, in honor of her pal, Foxie Chimpanzee’s, 38th birthday! Tracy is a long time supporter and friend of the chimpanzees and never misses an opportunity to make their lives better, or celebrate a special day.
Tracy, thank you so much for all that you do for the chimpanzees and for being the kind and compassionate soul you are. We are so very fortunate to have you as part of the CSNW family!
Happy Birthday, Foxie! We love you!!
Preparations for Foxie’s birthday celebration are under way now so please be sure to check back later today and see the festivities!
Today’s day of sanctuary was sponsored by Patrick and Carrie Hardie in honor of Ren’s 19th birthday! Patrick and Carrie sent the following lovely message:
“We are long time supporters of CSNW and couldn’t think of a better way to honor our nephew’s 19th birthday than supporting our favorite seven primates.”
Patrick and Carrie, we are all touched that you would include the chimpanzees in your wish to celebrate Ren’s special day. Thank you so much for thinking of them! Ren, from all of the primates here at CSNW, Happy Birthday!! We hope you’re having a great day!

Today’s day of sanctuary was sponsored by Audrey and Jim Spencer in honor of Brian Osborne’s birthday! Brian has volunteered a lot of his time and hard work helping us out with projects around the sanctuary grounds, from the construction of Young’s Hill to when we really needed help cleaning up after the Taylor Bridge wildfire during the summer of 2012. We are so grateful for all he has done to help us improve the chimpanzees’ home.
Audrey and Jim, we are touched that you would choose to include the chimpanzees in Brian’s special day and really appreciate all that you do for them! Brian, all of us here at Chimpanzee Sanctuary Northwest hope you have a great day! Thank you so much for all you do for us and may your kindness return to you tenfold! Happy Birthday!!
Burrito always knows how to celebrate:
Today’s day of sanctuary was sponsored by Robert Hill in honor of Kelly Donovan! Robert shared this very kind message:
