About Our Auction

Brewing for Rhinos is the Greenville Zoo chapter of the American Association of Zoo Keepers' (AAZK) version of an organization-wide fundraiser called Bowling for Rhinos that raises money for rhino conservation. This money gets divided primarily between rhinos protection efforts in Kenya and Indonesia where it helps support anti-poaching units, conservation research, and community development programs. A small portion of the proceeds also go towards cheetah conservation in Kenya where it is used to monitor the local cheetah population and help to provide local communities with livestock-cheetah conflict reduction training. In the process of conserving rhinos and cheetahs, these projects also help to protect ecosystems that hundreds of other species rely on to survive. 100% of the proceeds raised from this auction go toward rhino and cheetah conservation. Fundraisers through various AAZK chapter (including this one) have managed to raise over 8.7 million dollars for rhino focused conservation efforts since 1990.
