It has been said that in a city steeped in the rich history of the jewelry industry, Capron Park Zoo is the crown jewel of Attleboro. The Friends want to make sure that with regular funding of continued improvements at the Zoo this analogy will hold true for years to come. Look around the zoo and see what the Friends have accomplished: over $200,000 in funding that has assisted in the construction of the Boardwalk, Lemur Islands, the Splashpad Playspace, White Lion acquisition and a host of other projects.

Funding must be an ongoing effort in order to ensure that the Zoo's projects continue to get the funding that's needed. When the Passport to Africa event was initiated, it was amazing how enthusiastic each Friends member and the community became when they realized this could be the start of a successful annual event that will showcase past efforts funded by the Friends and what the future holds. The possibilities for new exhibits and projects at the Zoo are unlimited, and with your support we can make these visions a reality.
