Are the birds your favorite part of visiting Brookfield Zoo?

Quirky, clever, and outgoing, Jasper is a fan favorite at Brookfield Zoo.

Now imagine having the opportunity to truly know him, and to play a key role in providing top-notch care for the animals of Brookfield Zoo by becoming Jasper's VIP Lead Patron.

What would this look like?
There are so many reasons to take part in this exclusive opportunity!

As Jasper's VIP Lead Patron, your family name will be on display at an exhibit at Brookfield Zoo for one year (beginning July 1, 2021). You will have special VIP access, allowing you to truly get to know this charismatic cockatoo. This includes:

• An exclusive Tropical bird animal experience with the animal care team, VIP parking, and a cart tour for six.
  
• A Zoom chat or Birthday shout out with a member of Jasper's animal care team.
  
• Regular video and written updates - allowing you up close and personal (but safe!) face to face access.
  
• Additionally, you'll receive photos, cards, and name recognition in the Chicago Zoological Society's Annual Report.
  

You can help make a difference by sponsoring Jasper at the VIP Lead Patron level.
