Join us for an unforgettable two-night fundraising experience supporting wildlife conservation, education, and the protection of reptiles and crocodilians.

 

About the Cause

The Phoenix Herpetological Sanctuary (PHS) is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization founded in 2001 with a mission centered on wildlife conservation and rehabilitation through education. As the largest reptile sanctuary in the United States, PHS provides lifelong care for rescued reptiles while fostering public awareness and stewardship. Proceeds from this event will support critical animal care needs, the development of new enclosures for incoming crocodilian species, and the expansion of PHS’s educational programming.

The Crocodile Survival Federation (CSF) is a newly established wildlife organization based in Florida, dedicated to advancing mentorship and specialized training in wildlife management. CSF focuses on equipping the next generation of professionals with the knowledge and hands-on experience required to work within zoological institutions and conduct ethical led research. Funds raised in support of CSF will be directed toward the construction of animal enclosures, as well as the acquisition of essential equipment and instructional materials necessary for delivering comprehensive wildlife education courses.


In partnership, CSF and PHS will also establish an internship scholarship to support a research intern, furthering professional development opportunities and advancing collaborative conservation efforts.
