Help us Save the Rhinos!
American Association of Zoo Keepers

Rhinos have lived on earth for over 50 million years, but whether they survive even 50 years more is open to speculation.  Only 5 rhino species exist today when once there were over 100 species.  The 5 species – White, Black, Indian, Sumatran and Javan – are all endangered.

Bowling For Rhinos is organized by volunteers who donate their time and skills to help raise money for rhinoceros conservation.  Since all the people involved are volunteers, 100% of all donations are sent directly to the areas and organizations in need!

In Kenya, we support the Lewa Wildlife Conservancy where our donations help protect both Black and White Rhinos and most of the other wildlife species native to East Africa.  In Indonesia, AAZK supports the remaining Javan Rhinos at Ujung Kulon National Park and the Sumatran Rhinos in Bukit Barisan Selatan and Way Kamb National Parks. 

Over 60 AAZK chapters participate throughout the United States raising over $300,000 annually.  The Jacksonville Chapter of AAZK has been an active participant in Bowling for Rhinos since 1990.  To date, we have raised over $50,000 for this charity.  With your help, we can continue to help keep these species alive!
