Are the reptiles your favorite part of visiting Brookfield Zoo?

Serpentine, gentle, and distinctively lacking in camouflage, Casper is a favorite of care team staff and guests alike.

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

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

As Casper'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 remarkable reptile. This includes:

• An exclusive chat with Casper's animal care team, VIP parking, and a cart tour for six.
  
• A Zoom chat or Birthday shout out with a member of Casper'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 Casper at the VIP Lead Patron level.

More about Casper
A member of the Animal Ambassador team, Casper came to Brookfield Zoo with fellow ball python Marceline. Casper is a favorite of her care team and guests. She is very calm when she visits with our guests, and has helped many people become great fans of snakes! Although Casper has a white body, she is not albino as many people would think, due to her black eyes and lack of pattern. She is leucistic, meaning a lack of pigmentation. While this feature means that she would not survive in the wild, she gives guests the opportunity to learn about the importance of camouflage.

Leading the Field in Animal Care and Welfare:
Caring for animals and their habitats is central to the Chicago Zoological Society's mission. Through your support, you can ensure that we remain a leader in animal care and welfare.
