Partnership Opportunities With FONZ and the National Zoo
Friends of the National Zoo hosts several major events throughout the year to draw the community to the Zoo and raise funds for the Zoo’s education and conservation programs. The 2009 events include:
Through event sponsorship, area corporations reach thousands of Washington metro-area families to generate top-of-mind awareness, initiate product trial, and build sales through product/incentive offers. At the same time, sponsor contributions support the Zoo’s important wildlife conservation, research, and public education programs.Easter Monday/African American Family Celebration
