BFR events across North America raise over $300,000 annually. <strong><em>Recruiting additional partners and events will help AAZK to reach our goal of $500,000 every year.</em></strong>\r\n\r\nAAZK realized that the zoo keepers of the world were extremely conservation oriented and wanted to help save rhinos and their habitats, yet did not have the financial resources themselves to make any significant impact. That\'s when the idea came to start a national bowl-a-thon called Bowling For Rhinos.\r\n\r\nIn 1990, AAZK began by supporting the <a href="[homeurl]/bowling-for-rhinos/lewa-wildlife-conservancy-lwc/">Lewa Wildlife Conservancy</a> (formerly Ngare Sergoi Rhino Sanctuary) in Kenya and has since expanded the program.\r\n\r\nThe beauty of the idea is that these fundraisers are organized by volunteers, who donate their time and organizational skills to help raise money to send directly to the places in need. Since all the people involved are volunteers, <strong>100% of all donations</strong> are sent directly to these in situ rhino conservation areas!\r\n\r\n<h4>Who does BFR support?</h4>\r\n<img src="[homeurl]/wp-content/uploads/blackrhinos_004.jpg" border="1" alt="Black Rhinos" hspace="10" vspace="10" class="alignleft" /> In Kenya, Africa, BFR supports the <a href="[homeurl]/bowling-for-rhinos/lewa-wildlife-conservancy-lwc/">Lewa Wildlife Conservancy</a> where our donations help protect both black and white rhinos and most of the other species native to East Africa.\r\n\r\n<img src="[homeurl]/wp-content/uploads/sumatranrhino1.jpg" alt="" class="alignright" /> In Indonesia BFR supports the remaining Javan Rhinos at Ujung Kulon National Park and the Sumatran Rhinos in Bukit Barisan Selatan and Way Kambas National Parks through the <a href="[homeurl]/bowling-for-rhinos/international-rhino-foundation-irf/">International Rhino Foundation</a>.\r\n\r\nBFR also supports <a href="[homeurl]/bowling-for-rhinos/action-for-cheetahs-in-kenya-ack/">Action for Cheetahs in Kenya</a>. Cheetahs share much of the same habitat as rhinos and by working to conserve cheetahs we are also saving rhinos and the countless other species that call that habitat home.\r\n\r\nMany organizations participate in these events and have added the <em>Rocking For Rhinos</em>, <em>Rummage For Rhinos</em>, and <em>Recycling For Rhinos</em> projects as other ways to raise funds for this very worthwhile project.\r\n\r\nIf you have more questions about the Bowling for Rhinos event, please visit the <a href="[homeurl]/bowling-for-rhinos/bowling-for-rhinos-faq/">FAQ</a> page.\r\n\r\n<h4>Donate</h4>\r\nMake a donation for <em>Bowling for Rhinos</em> by clicking the link below. \r\n\r\n<div class="first sixcol">\r\n<p align="center"><h6>Total Funds Raised to Date:</h6>\r\n<strong>$4,321,808.48</strong></p>\r\n</div>\r\n<div class="last sixcol">\r\n<p align="center"><h6>2012 Funds Raised:</h6>\r\n<strong>$337,191.09</strong>\r\n<em> - this is a new record for amount raised in a year!</em></p>\r\n</div>\r\n<div class="clear"></div>\r\n\r\n<a href="[homeurl]/bowling-for-rhinos/bfr-donation/" class=""><img src="http://web3.gowebsolutions.com/~aazook/wp-content/uploads/donate_button.jpg" alt="donate_button" width="135" height="136" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-2410" /></a>', 'Bowling for Rhinos', 0, '', 'inherit', 'closed', 'closed', '', '168-revision-v1', '', '', '2013-11-05 15:52:17', '2013-11-05 20:52:17', '', 168, 'http://web3.gowebsolutions.com/~aazook/168-revision-v1/', 0, 'revision', '', 0) ;
