In addition to funding the Zoo’s Education Department and its programs, the Zoo Society funds the Zoo Ambassador Program, Roots & Shoots, Minor Capital Improvements, Staff Professional Development, Library Acquisitions and Various Conservation Projects.  While the operating revenue from the café and gift store do offset some of these disbursements, sponsorships and contributions are essential to our continued successful support of the Zoo.

The Buttonwood Park Zoological Society seeks partners to help us meet our mission of educating our children, serving our community and conserving wildlife.  Corporate sponsorships and support not only help us create memorable experiences for the whole family, but also provide high visibility branding opportunities for our partners.

Zoo Highlights include:

• Buttonwood Park Zoo is the most visited attraction in the South Coast
• Over 222,000 visitors in the last calendar year
• Membership base represents over 15,000 people in the South Coast

The 2010 Sponsorship Prospectus will acquaint you with our current sponsorship opportunities.  We value our corporate sponsors and continually strive to ensure our partnerships are mutually beneficial.  The Zoo Society has a variety of sponsorship opportunities, from multi-day events that attract thousands of guests, to small individual scholarships.  Whatever your needs and budget, we will work diligently with your team to clearly and effectively convey your corporate message, logo and image to our guests.

Current sponsors are offered right-of-first refusal on sponsorship renewals and then opportunities are available on a first-come, first-serve basis.  While we cannot offer category exclusivity across the entire Zoo, we do offer exclusivity within each sponsorship opportunity.
