Gorillas, Coast to Coast

Rachel Hogan OBE speaks to a packed house at the Explorers Club in NYC

The Saving Gorillas Tour 2019 has been a resounding success! Ape Action Africa's first-ever fundraising tour raised more than $23,000 for the gorillas, chimpanzees and monkeys in our care. We thank every single person who came to see us, brought a friend, helped out, bid in the auctions, decorated a gorilla (more below!) and made generous donations.

Hundreds of friends, new and old, turned out to hear Rachel Hogan OBE, Director of Ape Action Africa, tell her story of 18 years working to save these magnificent animals in their native rainforest. From California to South Carolina to New York, we laughed and cried and committed ourselves to seeing that Rachel has the resources needed to continue this most important work.

Enjoy these photos of the fun!

Our very special thanks to the Organizing Committees:
California
Margo Chisholm
Susan Lutter, chair
Nikki Sloate

New York

Robin Huffman, chair

The event was truly special and I loved seeing Rachel again, after a span of 7 years from the forest. Finally meeting the famed Robin Huffman and Susan Lutter just enhanced the party! For days I rode on a wave of gorilla energy, only made better by waking each morning to the 5 artistic gorillas I was lucky to be awarded at the silent auction. They continue to make me smile. Thank you everyone for your efforts. Next year, I'm bidding on more gorillas for my home sanctuary!

It's heartening to see people come together to raise funds to help save the Monkeys and Apes to their natural habitat. Many forests have been destroyed by climate change, resulting in the lost of homes for the animals that live in it. Some of the animals are near extinction and Gorillas are one of them. It's good to know that there are people with good heart that are working together to save them. May more people encourage by your blog to help.
