Looking for some fun, engaging ways to support Columbian Park Zoo today (and all year round!) ? Here are 4 simple ways you can give back and help support CPZ!

1. Order an item off our Amazon Wish List! 
One of most important parts of a holistic animal management plan is a thriving and effective enrichment program. As you can imagine, it takes a lot of resources to enrich the lives of over 200 animals every day! By purchasing an item off our Amazon Wish List, you help provide the resources our animal care team need to maintain our robust enrichment program. Read more about animal enrichment and access our Amazon Wish List here: https://bit.ly/31L5qpI

2. Make a contribution to our Zoo Toy Box Fund!
Another way to make an animal's day?? Make a contribution to the Zoo Toy Box program! Donations to this program go to the Animal Enrichment Fund and are used to purchase items that directly enhance the welfare of CPZ's animal residents. Want to make your donation a gift to a loved one? A printable certificate will be attached to your transaction receipt to provide to your gift recipient. Visit the pink "Gifts for Zoo Lovers" tab: https://bit.ly/3UJf6uJ

3. Purchase CPZ Gift Vouchers or Zoo EdBucks! 
Give your loved ones an experience they'll never forget with Gift Vouchers for Zoo Experiences and Zoo EdBucks! Choose a specific zoo education program or experience or select an EdBucks Gift Card that can be redeemed for any zoo education program purchasable on our online registration portal. Visit the pink "Gifts for Zoo Lovers" tab: https://bit.ly/3UJf6uJ

4. Become a Member! 
When you purchase a zoo membership, you are supporting Columbian Park Zoo's mission to encourage the appreciation of the world’s wildlife, to enhance the preservation and conservation of biodiversity and to inspire educational discovery and exploration in a fun, family-oriented environment for all citizens of the Greater Lafayette Area. Learn more about our membership program and get involved: https://bit.ly/3aruymz

Columbian Park Zoo has counted on the support of the community since opening in 1908. Contributing to CPZ in any of the above mentioned ways is a commitment to the future of the zoo, and ensures its continued success and development for years to come. No matter how you choose to participate in Giving Tuesday this year, we thank you for your support of Columbian Park Zoo!!
