“Each year, Wolf Park hosts its annual Walk for Wolves event; our largest fundraiser of the year. Wolf Park’s annual grassroots fundraiser event, Walk for Wolves, which was developed as a way to both further involve the community in our mission of research, education and conservation, and as a way to help sustain our facility during the off season. Our supporters form “packs” (1-5 people on a team) to help raise funds for the event. On the day of the Walk, one of our ambassador wolves leads the way around the loop trail. Local celebrities host this event; there is live music, food, fun contests and prize giveaways. Every “pack” receives an armband that lets them tour Wolf Park during open hours and come back for Howl Night that evening as our guests.
Area businesses support the Walk for Wolves through corporate sponsorships. In exchange, the businesses are advertised on the walk t-shirts, posters, on our website, and in our newsletter. Businesses also support the Walk for Wolves by giving to a matching donations campaign for their employees that participate. Wolf Park needs your support for Walk for Wolves to help us reach our targeted goal this year. Your help and support can make a huge impact on Wolf Park!
Those interested will form “packs” and become a helping hand in our ability to continue our mission of Research, Education, and Conservation. This opportunity is ideal for you to support Wolf Park’s efforts. All “packs” receive a Walk for Wolves t-shirt if registered by August 31st! Must be present at Bank Night or the Walk for Wolves to pick up your t-shirt (we do not mail them out).
With YOUR help, our ambassador wolves can make a difference!
