Be Wild at Heart. Make a Difference.
Let’s raise $30,000 to fuel Born Free USA’s mission: ending the exploitation of wild animals and ensuring they can live freely in the wild, where they belong. Proceeds will help us:
- Rescue monkeys like Wally from abuse and give them a forever home.
- End the primate pet trade in the United States once and for all.
- Rescue and release turtles, parrots, and other endangered species from poachers.
- Protect tigers, chimpanzees, polar bears and others from exploitation in captivity.
Whether you’re a long-time supporter or a new friend to our cause, your presence will make this night truly meaningful—for the animals, and for the future of our planet.
