Why We Need Your Support
"The Zoo's education department was excellent. The instructors captivated the students and opened their eyes to many wonderful things."
As the twelfth oldest zoo in the United States, Buttonwood Park Zoo has a long tradition of serving the community. As the comments on this page show (only a few of the hundreds we receive each year), we need to make sure that tradition does not end. With your help we can continue enriching our community and the lives of our children.
The Buttonwood Park Zoological Society (BPZS) is a private, nonprofit, charitable, 501(c)(3) organization whose mission is to provide educational programming and family events at the Buttonwood Park Zoo. In the current year, the BPZS is providing over $100,000 to fund educational programming for children at the Zoo and is supporting 75 family events.
Because of the BPZS's commitment, thousands of children will learn about the natural sciences, the environment and the importance of wildlife and habitat conservation. In addition, the public events supported by the BPZS provide families a safe, affordable, and fun place to spend time together.
The mission of the BPZS is to enrich our community by providing these educational programs and family events at no cost or for only a nominal fee. We can only do this, however, with the support of the community.
Please join us in this important endeavor!
Donations to the BPZS are tax-deductible to the full extent allowed by law. Corporate and business checks are permissible. There are numerous naming opportunities for zoo exhibits and buildings for major donations.
