Our Story

The Switzers are running a 5k (again)! We signed up for this race last year, as Izzy loves polar bears and especially Juno. We had a blast and have signed up again this year!

Help support Izzy's (and the rest of ours) love of the polar bears at the zoo by donating. Same as last year, Izzy's polar bear stuffy Polie will be running with us as well.

Description

With a fundraising goal of $35,000, every dollar raised will directly support your Toronto Zoo’s Polar Bear Life Support System (LSS) Project. This project involves modifications to the existing pool for our four polar bears, including new housing for advanced mechanical and filtration systems to allow for a saltwater system and adapting the current Tundra Trek pathway. These bears are used to saltwater and by upgrading our polar bear habitat, we will improve the experience and overall, well being for the bears currently living at the Toronto Zoo.
