THE AMERICAN ASSOCIATION OF ZOO KEEPERS (AAZK) PRESENTS

"CINCO DE RHINO" A FUN TIME FOR A GOOD CAUSE

Punch a Poacher, Save a Rhino!

(CHICAGO, IL) - The inaugural event, “Cinco De Rhino”, to benefit the American Association of Zoo Keepers [http://aazk.org/] will be held on Wednesday, May 5, 2010, from 6pm to 9pm at Mahoney’s Pub and Grille, located at 551 North Ogden Avenue in Chicago.   

The event promises to be a great time for a great cause and a great chance to win cash! The American Association of Zoo Keepers (AAZK) organizers have lots of fun activities planned, including "Poacher Piñata" or play some cool games on the Nintendo Wii! There will be door prizes as well as a silent auction. 

A $30 donation includes entry, food and alcoholic beverages.  All proceeds go directly towards wildlife conservation [www.aazkbfr.org]

This is also one heck of a great green cause!  Supporting AAZK's Rhino fundraising program can make a difference in worldwide conservation. Their efforts continue to make great strides in protecting the world's rhinos plus hundreds of other endangered plant and animal species that share their habitat. In Indonesia, AAZK's fundraisers support 60% of the global population of critically endangered Sumatran rhinos and 95% of the population of the critically endangered Javan rhino, that now numbers less than 50 individuals. AAZK's support also protects charismatic species like elephants, rhinos, tigers, clouded leopard and more.

Have some fun and help the animals this year (especially the rhino) at "Cinco De Rhino".  "Cinco De Rhino" is for patrons 21 and over.
