Each year,the American Association of Zookeepers (AAZK) sponsors fund raising bowling events around the globe called "Bowling for Rhinos" (BFR). This also encompasses other fun events such as Winos for Rhinos and Curling for Rhinos. Over 85 AAZK chapters participate throughout the United States and Canada raising over $600,000 annually. BFR funds support Lewa Wildlife Conservancy (LWC) in Kenya, Ujung Kulon National Park in Java, Indonesia and Bukit Barisan Selatan National Park (BBSNP) and Way Kambas in Sumatra via the International Rhino Foundation (IRF), as well as Action for Cheetahs in Kenya (ACK), which shares a portion of land mass with LWC. These sanctuaries not only save rhinos (and cheetahs) but also entire ecosystems - orchids to elephants! This is the Phoenix Chapter's 15th annual BFR!  We are a small non-profit based in Phoenix that is an extension of the National American Association of Zookeepers. Our mission is to support zoo personnel in their roles as animal care givers, public educators, and conservationists; to support professional growth by providing resources for continuing education; to enhance animal care through enrichment; and contribute to global conservation efforts through fundraising.
