Sara Kennedy is fundraising
Help Repair the Reptile House!
My name is Sara and I'm an intern at the Plumpton Park Zoo, I've been working here for a little over 4 months now and I love everything about it. I've learned a lot and met a ton of amazing people and animals along the way! This past July the zoos reptile house suffered a lot of damage due to an accidental fire. The fire caused us to lose many friends, and those who remain are missing the home and space that they once had! I'm starting this fundraiser in the hopes to raise money for the repairs that need to be done to make this place a home again! Any donation will help make an impact. Thanks in advance for your contribution and anything is appreciated!

Annabelle the giraffe needs a companion.

Recently Jimmie the giraffe, who at the time was the world's oldest male giraffe, passed away. Jimmie and Annabelle enjoyed each others company. They often greeted each other many times a day. Annebelle would often “check on” Jimmie when he chose not to go outside. Many at the Zoo credit Annabelle's companionship as being very helpful to Jimmie’s fight to keep going as long as he did.

Unfortunately, Jimmy's battle with Father Time came to its inevitable conclusion. That was a very sad day. But the zoo must now turn it's full attention to Annabelle and move forward. Annabelle has never been alone before. She grew up with her family and then moved in with Jimmie. Giraffes are herd animals and while Annebelle has her keepers, she needs a companion. The cost of a giraffe that is compatible with insurance and specialized transportation would come to $62,000. We have already raised 13,000! We also have some great news. We have a doner that is willing to match dollar for dollar up to $25,000 all contributions from this day forward. We know for many times is tough but we ask everyone to please consider helping. If you can not donate, you can still help by spreading the word, asking others, an employer, business or others to donate.

Thank you from the Plumpton Park Zoo Family!!!
