AAZK ZNE in partnership with the ZNE Enrichment Committee is raising funds to purchase a toy for Seymour the Jaguar at Stone Zoo. Seymour has chosen an oblong ball toy, as he used to have one that he loved, but he loved it so much he wore his old one out! Any funds raised over the cost of the toy for Seymour will go toward supporting AAZK ZNE's conservation initiatives, professional development, and general chapter operation costs. T-shirts will be available for purchase from 2/22 - 3/7. They will be available for pick-up from Franklin Park Zoo or Stone Zoo once the order has been received.
