The American Association of Zoo Keepers (AAZK) North Carolina Chapter is proud to bring together animal care professionals from across the state to support wildlife conservation through action, education, and community involvement.
Our chapter includes members from the Greensboro Science Center, North Carolina Zoo, Grandfather Mountain, and Rowan Wildlife Adventures, all working together to make a difference for wildlife both locally and globally.
This year, they are excited to host the inaugural Zoo Dash 5K: Race to Protect the Wild at the Greensboro Science Center on Saturday, May 30th! Participants will enjoy a unique race experience through Jaycee Park and the Greensboro Science Center's zoo, passing incredible animals along the course while helping raise funds for conservation.
Proceeds from the race will support wildlife conservation organizations and projects that protect species and habitats around the world. Every registration helps support the mission of conservation, education, and animal welfare that zoo professionals work toward every day.
Whether you are running, walking, volunteering, or cheering from the sidelines, thank you for supporting the keepers, animals, and conservation efforts that inspire us all!
