Highlighted Fundraising Cause: Go Ape with Wildlife Waystation & Betty White!
Sha Sha the chimp is spokes-chimp for 42 other chimpanzees at her home, Chimp Village, at the Wildlife Waystation in Los Angeles County, California.
It costs $29.95/a day to feed and care for each chimp. Money from Sha Sha’s fundraiser will be used for Chimp Village enclosure enrichment and improvements.
Sha Sha and her 42 companions at the Wildlife Waystation are going bananas over a recent gift from golden girl Betty White. As spokeschimp, Sha Sha recently launched a fundraising campaign to raise $150,000, and White, a long-time supporter of the organization, made a challenge grant - Betty will match donations, $1 for $1, up to $20,000!
“I have been supporting the wonderful work at the Wildlife Waystation for 35 years,” White said. “It warms my heart to help Sha Sha help her chimp mates. So, I encourage others to go ape with me and please support my challenge!”
