My Story
I signed up for the 2026 Oasis ZooRun because I believe in showing up for the things that matter, and protecting wildlife is one of them. Every kilometre I run is a step toward giving Blanding's Turtles a fighting chance in the wild.
Your donation supports the Toronto Zoo's Blanding's Turtle Headstart Program, where eggs are safely incubated and hatchlings are cared for before being released into the wild. Whether you give $5 or $50, you're making a real difference. Thank you so much!
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.
