Invitations will be forthcoming, but save the date! If you have included the Sanctuary in your will or estate planning, but are not already a member of the Circle of Life Society, please e-mail us or give us a call at (303) 536-0118 so we can include you in this great group.

Your personal invitation will include all of the details as well as RSVP information. The Wild Animal Sanctuary has been around for decades and plans on being here for the animals as long as it is needed. Be a part of that future by including the Sanctuary and its incredible animals in your estate planning or planned giving.

They are festive evenings at the Sanctuary, complete with sumptuous catered dinners, intimate conversations with Sanctuary Management and the occasional “Lion concert” (where all the Lions join in their own kind of roaring music that can be heard for miles) and dueling “Wolf Howls” from pack to pack. In addition to individual attendance of Summer Safari Dinners, Sponsorship Levels are available, and it’s a great way to show the animals how much you care. Please contact the Sanctuary at 303-536-0118 to learn more. RUN INTO THE WILD RUNNING FESTIVAL Saturday June 11, 2022 There is no other event like it in the entire world! This annual walk/run festival has grown into the Sanctuary’s largest annual event, with thousands of participants taking part or simply coming to take in the scenery and enjoy the day. Vendors, face painters, lots of great food and fun are in addition to the three walking and running courses: the 5K walk/run Jaguar Jaunt; the 5K Limitless Lion race and the 10K Tireless Tiger race. Oh, and did we mention the custom-designed running shirts and hats, and participation medals? We look forward to seeing you and your entire family bright and early on June 5th! It will be a day you won’t soon forget. For more information and race registration, please visit our dedicated website: www.RunIntoTheWild.org FOUNDER'S DAY EVENT Thursday-Sunday, June 16-19, 2022 Join us at Founder's Day on Thursday, Friday, Saturday or Sunday for a special luncheon, presentation and tour of The Wild Animal Refuge. This event is only available to Founders - which are those supporters that purchased at least one acre of land at this new site. Founder's can come early in the morning when the gates open (at 9:00 AM) so they are able to tour the property prior to the luncheon/presentation... or they can arrive by 11:00 AM so they can attend the luncheon/presentation and then tour the facility. The Refuge's gates will close at 3:00 PM, so all Founders will need to have completed their tour and be outside the gate by 3:00 PM. For more details, go to The Founder's Day Event Page. All Founders must register to attend. If you are a Founder and are planning to attend this year's event, please make sure to register early here. If you are not a Founder yet, but would like to become one so you can not only help the animals - but also be able to visit the Refuge - then please follow this link. PLEDGE PARTY Saturday, October 1, 2022 We look forward to hosting our second annual "Pledge Party Luncheon" - which is an invite-only event in honor of all the wonderful supporters that have automatic recurring donations set up to benefit the animals. Similar to adoptive parents, these special guests are invited to a wonderful catered lunch where everyone can enjoy the camaraderie and friendship that comes with being honored for doing something special. Pledging guests are encouraged to bring someone along to enjoy visiting the walkway and our Welcome Center, while Sanctuary staff members and dedicated volunteers spend time mingling and conversing with honored guests. If you haven't signed up for a pledge, please consider doing so and joining us at this wonderful fall event! HOST AN EVENT Have an idea that you want to try? Motorcycle “Poker Runs” – You can do these in Colorado, making the Sanctuary one of your stops, or in your own area, if out of state. The benefits go to help the animals, which is great! This works for car clubs as well. Classes/Scouts/Environmental Youth Groups – We love getting young people involved in learning about and helping the animals. Kids’ groups and classes have done amazing things to help the animals – everything from bake sales, read-a-thons, jewelry and rock sales, car washes, collection of “Wish List” items, poster and letter writing campaigns – the list goes on and on. What would your youth group like to do? Let us know and we’ll send whatever support materials you might need. Business/Office Events – Such a wide variety of Events to help the animals can be done at the office! Ideas that have benefitted the animals are listed below, and sometimes, offices and organizations have simply raised money for a specific need, or just for the general fund. Potlucks & Silent Auctions – Holiday or any day – share the silent auction winnings with the animals! Drawings – Club or office or anywhere – sell tickets and split the proceeds between the winner and TWAS. Jeans/Casual Day – everybody pays a small “fee” to wear casual attire on a given day, with the benefits going to the animals. Your own creative idea! Give us a call, 303-536-0118, and we can send support materials to help your event be a big success! We thank you for helping the animals!
