FOUNDATION OVERVIEW & WHAT YOUR SUPPORT MEANS
We are pleased to announce Cosley Foundation is hosting its annual
Cosley Zoo Run for the Animals 5K/10K & ½ Mile Zippity Zoo Run on
Saturday, June 6, 2015 in downtown Wheaton, Illinois. This year’s
Cosley Zoo Run’s goal is to raise funds for the important animal care
and conservation programs at Cosley Zoo. We are actively seeking
partner organizations and cordially invite you to participate as an event
sponsor.
Together with your support, Cosley Foundation helps to heighten
awareness and financial support for:
The care of over 300 animals
Free admission for all children
Development of new exhibit spaces
Quality programs for thousands of students
Exciting animal enrichment
Special behind the scenes tours for families
, Cosley Zoo serves more than 150,000 annual visitors and LOCALLY
admission is always free for children. Cosley Zoo provides regular
programs and events for families, children, adults, and scholars. In 2014,
Cosley Zoo updated its Coyote Exhibit, started a new Animal & Nature
Education Box program for local school teachers to rent free of charge,
and welcomed its newest resident Wiley the coyote.
, Cosley Zoo helps with important conservation efforts STATEWIDE
such as the Blanding’s Turtles Recovery project. This particular animal
is on the endangered species list, and Cosley Zoo along with other
organizations, are working to heighten awareness and save the
Blanding’s Turtles. Also, in 2014, Cosley Zoo was awarded an over
$18,000 grant through the Department of Commerce and Economic
Opportunity to encourage and further educate the public about recycling.
, Cosley Zoo is recognized and accredited by the NATIONALLY
Association of Zoos and Aquariums for its excellence in animal care and
conservation. Only 228 of the world’s zoos and aquariums are accredited
with this distinguished honor (less than 5%). Cosley Zoo is visited by
residents from just about every zip code in Illinois, 46 states, and four
countries outside of the USA. Cosley Zoo has also provided internship
programs for young adults from education institutions around the nation.
The Cosley Zoo Foundation Board and Staff Members are honored to
serve as ambassadors and liaisons to native Illinois wildlife living at
Cosley Zoo. Collectively, we look forward to expanding our offerings in
2015 and 2016 through your support of this year’s Cosley Run
fundraiser event.
