You Can Help the Chimpanzees Celebrate!
Who doesn't love a party?

Your donation in the amount of your choosing will help us buy decorations, themed enrichment items and, best of all, the chimpanzees’ favorite celebration treats. These include, but are most definitely not limited to, almost any dairy product (ice cream, yogurt, cheese), individual soy milks and juice boxes, seasonal (and often expensive) fresh fruit, and the occasional sweet.

Below is a list of the holidays and birthdays for the next year. We put together a list that gives the chimpanzees a variety of events carefully scattered throughout the months. Parties are great fun but if they happen too often, they become part of the routine instead of an exception. We want special events to break up daily life for Tatu and Loulis and give them something to look forward to.

You can specify which party you would like to sponsor on the online donation form. Click here to return to the form.

If you would prefer not to donate on-line, please contact us at (509) 963-2244, or send an e-mail to orders@friendsofwashoe.org. Please do NOT include any credit card information in your e-mail.
