The North Carolina American Association of Zookeepers (NC AAZK) is a passionate group of animal care professionals and conservation enthusiasts dedicated to making a difference for wildlife both locally and globally. Known for mixing hard work with a healthy dose of fun, they’ve hosted a variety of creative fundraisers over the years, from the always-popular Bowling for Rhinos, where animal lovers trade their work boots for bowling shoes, to spirited virtual trivia nights, t-shirt sales, and charity runs. Every dollar raised supports vital conservation projects and animal welfare initiatives, proving that helping animals doesn’t just make a difference, it can also be a great time!
