Champions
Become a Champion for Zoo New England by Hosting a Personalized Fundraising Page!
Help raise much needed funds for your Zoos! Maybe you're a longtime visitor of Franklin Park Zoo and Stone Zoo. Maybe you've watched the snow leopards grow up or visited our gorilla troop as it expanded. Or perhaps you've never been to our Zoos before, but want to help protect wildlife and wild places. Whatever your reason for running, create a personalized fundraising page to share your story and set a goal. Your support makes a difference in the lives of the animals that call our Zoos home.
Champions receive an individual membership to the Zoo's young professionals group, The Wild Things, and the top three fundraisers will win an exclusive behind-the-scenes tour!
