$250,000 donation made to Topeka Zoo and Conservation Center
TOPEKA (KSNT) - The Topeka Zoo and Conservation Center is accepting a substantial donation to drive future development.
Fawn Moser, Interim Director at the Topeka Zoo, announced in a press release on Friday, April 26 that a donation of $250,000 is being made towards the zoo. This cash comes from Security Benefit, a retirement savings and investments provider, to go towards the zoo's next masterplan.
A public campaign kickoff is planned for later in the year to showcase exciting new plans for the zoo's future development.
“The Topeka Zoo is a treasured asset in our community and one that our company and our employees have supported for decades,” said Doug Wolff, Security Benefit CEO. “In the past, we have provided funding for the pavilion, Camp Cowabunga, the petting zoo, and more recently for Zoo Lights. We are excited to be a part of a new and dynamic habitat creating great spaces for both guests and new animals for the zoo and the community.”
"We are deeply grateful to Security Benefit for their generous donation," Moser said. "Together, we will create transformative experiences that inspire a lifelong passion for sustainability and awareness of our environment."
