Do you want to be a part of the preservation of Monkey Island?
Please sponsor our annual Fundraising event on November 9th to be held at Crumps Landing. Details in the flyer below.
We lost one of our beloved monkeys, Ebony, in May of this year. 100% of the profit of the banquet, as has been the norm for the past several years, is to benefit Monkey Island and it’s inhabitants, both now and in the future. So, gather some friends, split the costs!! You’ll find it to be a fun evening as well as donating to a great cause for the whole community.
