Yoga With Koga fundraiser for Pan African Sanctuary Alliance
(PASA)PASA (https://www.pasaprimates.org
[https://www.pasaprimates.org/]/)is a network of sanctuaries
throughout Africa that work together to care for displaced and
orphaned non-human primates. Comprised of 22 sanctuaries in 13
countries, PASA strives to support these sanctuaries through training,
education, and outreach. Every year, PASA brings together the
directors of these sanctuaries for a meeting and training session,
oftentimes bringing experts from the UNITED STATES and Europe to
provide guidance and support. Many zoos support PASA. We now have the
opportunity to “adopt” a sanctuary. By raising $2000 each year, we
can cover the cost of sending one sanctuary director to the annual
conference. We have been paired with the Limbe Wildlife Centre
in Cameroon (http://limbewildlife.org [http://limbewildlife.org/]/),
one of only a handful of sanctuaries that cares for orphaned gorillas.
The Buffalo Zoo is collaborating with Canisius College and Yoga
Parkside to put on this fundraiser. It is our hope to make Yoga with
Koga an annual event, with all proceeds going to our partner PASA
sanctuary, Limbe.
This year, we are planning a 4-hour event on Sunday, April 15th from
11am – 3pm. We will offer a yoga class, provide healthy snacks, have
a basket raffle, and we will have a variety of items available for
sale, such as PASA t-shirts and gorilla paintings. All guests
enter through the front gates.

* 11:00am- Opening of Event
