HELP SUPPORT QANNIK AND THE OTHER ANIMALS AT THE
LOUISVILLE ZOO!
In April 2011, the Louisville Zoo officially opened the
Bear Habitat and Town of Glacier Run. Since then, thousands
of people just like you have already enjoyed polar bear Arki,
and grizzly bears Inga, Otis and Rita as they play and
entertain each other—and our visitors—in their brand new,
state-of-the-art home! And very soon, visitors will come
from near and far to visit with Qannik—the adorable new
Alaskan polar bear cub who will now call Glacier Run home.

With your help, we raised more than $26.3 million to
build Glacier Run. Now that we’ve built the exhibit, we need
your help to support the expert care and enrichment we’ll
provide to the polar and grizzly bears (and the other
animals at the Zoo), as well as the conservation education
programming we’ll provide to more than 800,000 visitors each
year. In addition to your support of the daily operations of
Glacier Run, a gift to the Glacier Run endowment fund will
provide lasting support for this exhibit for many years to
come.
Here are some of the specific ways you can help:
- A gift of $50 will support the cost of an enrichment
toy for the bears to play and exercise with—it’s
important to keep the bears stimulated and active.
- A gift of $75 to the Annual Fund will support the
daily diet of: Arki, our
26 year old female polar bear; Qannik our new polar bear
cub; and our three growing grizzlies.
- For $100 today, you can help support the more than
124 pounds of fish our 8 seals and sea lions eat each
day!
- For a contribution at the $333 level, you could
afford 20 kids affiliated with Title I schools the
opportunity to participate in the week-long School at
the Zoo program.
- Choose to make a gift to the endowment to support the upkeep
and operations of the Glacier Run exhibit for years to come –
priceless!
Please consider making a donation today to support
the greatest needs of your Zoo! If you’d like to learn more
about making a legacy gift to the Glacier Run endowment, please email
jill.kaplan@louisvilleky.gov or call (502) 238-5614.
On behalf of Arki, Inga, Otis, Rita, Qannik and the more
than 1,300 animal ambassadors that reside at your Zoo, thank
you in advance for your support – we appreciate you!
