Fundraising
Every year, our organisation hosts ‘Bowling’, an annual fundraiser for local and international conservation organisations.
About the cause
To date, the ASZK and the zoo community have combined to raise $103,000 for valuable conservation work in the field! We would love you to organise an event in your area, no matter how big or small! If you are interested in organising an event or would simply like further information about how you can be involved, please don’t hesitate to contact our bowling coordinator at bowling@aszk.org.au.
