My Story

Welcome to an absolutely wild opportunity to make a real difference! I am thrilled you have decided to help me stampede toward my fundraising goals for my second year participating in this event and that you are choosing to support the incredible animals who call this place home. Whether we are raising funds like a busy bee or taking it slower like a sloth, every dollar we raise truly roars with impact!

As a fundraiser, you are the real apex here—and I want to make sure you know how un-fur-gettable your efforts are. Think of yourself as the lion's mane event of the zoo's year! Whether you're facing an uphill climb like a mountain goat or ready to sprint through our fundraising goals like a cheetah, talk about a bear-y important mission!

Here's why your work matters: Every dollar you raise helps the Toronto Zoo care for the animals, from the towering giraffes to the adorable red pandas. You are seal-ing deals for conservation, hopping toward the goals, and proving that you are no birdbrain—you are genuinely making a panda-monium of positive change! Even if fundraising feels like herding cats, remember: together, we are creating a paw-some future for these creatures, big and small.

This is no time to bury your head in the sand like an ostrich! Thank you for helping me reach my goal and show the community that this is a pivot-owl moment in wildlife conservation. 

Let's make this a roaring success together! 🦒🐘✨

Thank you for being part of my herd!

Description

This year’s Oasis ZooRun is raising funds and awareness for Blanding’s Turtles! 

With a fundraising goal of $110,000, every dollar raised will help support the Toronto Zoo’s Blanding’s Turtle Headstart Program and its new home inside the Community Conservation Centre.

By supporting my fundraising efforts, you’re helping provide a dedicated space where Blanding’s turtle eggs can be safely incubated and hatchlings cared for before they are released into the wild. This new space will also give Zoo guests the opportunity to see the hatchlings up close and learn firsthand about the vital conservation work happening at the Toronto Zoo.

Thank you for helping protect Blanding’s turtles and supporting wildlife conservation.
