Each year, the American Association of Zookeepers (AAZK) sponsors fund raising bowling events around the globe called "Bowling for Rhinos" (BFR). This also encompasses other fun events such as Winos for Rhinos and Curling for Rhinos. Over 85 AAZK chapters participate throughout the United States and Canada raising over $600,000 annually. BFR funds support Lewa Wildlife Conservancy (LWC) in Kenya, Ujung Kulon National Park in Java, Indonesia and Bukit Barisan Selatan National Park (BBSNP) and Way Kambas in Sumatra via the International Rhino Foundation (IRF), as well as Action for Cheetahs in Kenya (ACK), which shares a portion of land mass with LWC. These sanctuaries not only save rhinos (and cheetahs) but also entire ecosystems - orchids to elephants!

This is the Phoenix Chapter's 15th annual BFR!

More info and update will be posted to the Event facebook page:

18th Annual Phoenix AAZK Fundraising Auction

*AUCTION LINK BELOW*

https://www.32auctions.com/pcaazk19

Welcome to the 18th Annual Auction fundraiser hosted by the Phoenix Chapter of the American Association of Zookeepers (PCAAZK)! Proceeds from the auction are vital for us to keep our organization running. As a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization, we rely on the generosity donors, and bidders like you, to bolster our fundraising efforts.

In the past two years, Phoenix AAZK has really come alive, collaborating with animal welfare organizations such as Polar Bears International, the Andean Bear Foundation, H.U.T.A.N., and C.A.R.E. (Center for Animal Rehabilitation and Education).

NEW FOR 2019 is "Extended Bidding". All this means is, any item where a bid is received in the last 3 minutes, that item's listing time will be extended for an additional 3 minutes. This prevents anyone from "Sniping" an item, and offers all interested parties a fair shot at winning. This "extended bidding" 3 minute extension will continue for each bid received, for a maximum of 30 minutes past auction closed.

I’d like to thank you in advance for considering a bid in our auction and for helping us reach our goal of providing excellent care for animals here in Phoenix and around the globe!

-2019 Phoenix AAZK Team
