AAZK Indy logoBowling For Rhinos

May 18, 2013 • All Star Bowl
Registration: 5:30-6:30pm • Bowl-a-thon: 6-9pm

rhinoEnjoy an evening of fun and bowling while supporting animal conservation during Bowling for Rhinos, May 18 at All Star Bowl, 726 N. Shortridge Road. The event is hosted annually by the Indianapolis Chapter of the American Association of Zookeepers Inc. and last year's event raised $5,335! All individual donation money collected during Bowling for Rhinos goes directly to the Lewa Wildlife Conservancy (LWC) in Kenya, Ujung Kulon National Park in Java, Indonesia, and Bukit Barisan Selatan National Park (BBSNP) in Sumatra, Indonesia.

LWC (formerly Ngare Sergoi Sanctuary) is a 65,000-acre protected area that is home to the endangered black and white rhinos. Ujung Kulon is a 300-square-mile protected area that is home to the last 47 Javan rhinos in the world! BBSNP is 3,568 square kilometers of lush tropical rainforest where the Sumatran rhinos live, along with elephant, tiger, and Malayan sun bear. All three support an entire ecosystem, including some of the world's most endangered plants and animals.
