My name is Gage, and I am an Animal Care Professional of Ectotherms at the Naples Zoo in Naples, Florida. Thanks to the incredible generosity of my friends, family, and supporters, my original fundraising goal was reached far faster than I ever expected. Because of you, my travel, housing, equipment, and participation costs for this conservation project are now fully covered.

I am beyond grateful for the support that has made this opportunity possible. What started as a personal goal has quickly grown into something much bigger—and now, I want to build on that momentum.

With my essential expenses secured, every additional dollar raised will go directly to supporting SAVE THE FROGS! and their global conservation efforts. These funds will help protect amphibian populations, restore critical habitats, and support education initiatives in communities that play a vital role in conservation. Amphibians are among the most threatened groups of animals on the planet, and organizations like SAVE THE FROGS! are making a real, measurable difference in their survival.

This project is still a dream come true for me, but now it’s also an opportunity to give back even more. By continuing to support this fundraiser—whether through donations or by sharing it—you are directly contributing to meaningful conservation work that extends far beyond my individual experience.

Thank you again for your overwhelming generosity and for believing in both me and this mission. Together, we can make an even greater impact.
