SUMMARY:Ridley Rush
DESCRIPTION:You are invited to join us for our 10th Annual Ridley Rush 5K/1-Mile Walk/Run presented by Chick-Fil-A.  This family fun run aims to raise awareness for the endangered Kemp’s Ridley Sea Turtle.  The Ridley Rush route will take you through the beautiful and scenic Mitte Cultural District and Gladys Porter Zoo as you experience what a baby sea turtle must endure in its rush to the ocean. \nAs federal and state funds have dwindled over the years\, this direct funding has become mission-critical to sustain Kemp’s Ridley Project and provide support to other sea turtle projects. The Kemp’s Ridley Project has both a successful track record and the real possibility of down-listing this most iconic of marine animals.  Other proven sea turtle projects may receive funding to promote conservation efforts. \nThe cost to participate in the 5K run is only $35.00 and $30.00 for the 1-mile run per runner. This cost covers a limited edition dri-fit Ridley Rush shirt\, a race bib\, a race medal\, and the entrance to the Zoo for the post-race festival celebrating World Oceans Day! \nREGISTRATION\nA special thanks go out to this year’s Ridley Rush sponsors\, Chick-Fil-A\, H-E-B Helping Here\, Brownsville Public Utilities Board\, CBS 4\, NBC 23\, Visit Brownsville\, and City of Brownsville.

SUMMARY:Animal Play Day “World Giraffe Day”
DESCRIPTION:What is World Giraffe Day? It is a world-wide day of recognition for the longest necked animal on the planet. Take part in World Giraffe Day\, established by the Giraffe Conservation Foundation. During World Giraffe Day\, the Zoo will have our Giraffe Landing Feeding Experience open from 10:00 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. and 100% of the proceeds will go directly towards saving giraffes in Africa.  Kids can participate in activities like giraffe mask making\, while learning about giraffe conservation. \nGiraffe are becoming one of the forgotten large mammals of the world. While everyone knows about the terrible waves of elephant poaching that continue to plague the African savannahs\, the degree of giraffe destruction is even worse. There are estimated to be 500\,000 elephants remaining\, while only 100\,000 giraffe are left. For more information about World Giraffe Day\, visit www.worldgiraffeday.org.
