Racine Zoo is hosting its spring fundraiser, All In For The Animals, from Monday, April 4 through Friday, April 8.

As part of the fundraiser, Educators Credit Union will match each donated dollar up to $5,000.

The Racine Zoo’s Animal Care Department provides essential daily and specialized veterinary care to over 300 animals and 75 unique species that make your trip to the Zoo so memorable.

Racine Zoo is accredited by the Association of Zoos and Aquariums, which means they are held to the "gold standard" of animal care. For a nonprofit like Racine Zoo, it is a steep price tag to maintain this level of care.
