The RHINO RUSH 5K IS A FUNDRAISER FOR RHINO CONSERVATION EFFORTS IN
KENYA AND SE ASIA. Funds raised at this event will join Bowling for
RHINOS, the premier conservation fundraiser of the American
Association of Zoo Keepers. Since 1991 Bowling for RHINOS HAS RAISED
OVER 6 MILLION DOLLARS FOR RHINO CONSERVATION. 100% of the profits
from Bowling for RHINOS GO TO SUPPORT THE LEWA WILDLIFE CONSERVANCY IN
KENYA, the International RHINO FOUNDATIONS EFFORTS IN INDONESIA, and
Action for Cheetahs in Kenya.Funds are used by these conservation
organizations to fence in protected sanctuaries and parks, purchase
planes and land rover vehicles to curtail poaching, translocate rhinos
into secure sanctuaries and parks, purchase trip cameras for censuring
and GPS transmitters, provide salaries for anti-poaching security
guards, support local communities, clinics, and schools, and provide
medical care for injured rhinos and orphaned calves, just to name a
few.
Since these organizations also protect the land rhinos live in, many
species benefit from sharing habitat with rhinos, such as cheetahs,
elephants, lions, giraffe, zebra, tigers, tapirs, orangutans,
leopards, and pangolins.
The Rhino Rush 5K is generously sponsored by Suncrest Gardens, Rhino
Rubber, Blimp City Bike & Hike, House of Hunan on Waterloo Rd,
American Interiors, and Mr. Zubs Deli.
