Winos for Rhinos 2016

Advanced Sales are Available on our Webstore!

Join the Redwood Coast American Association of Zoo Keepers for our third annual Winos for Rhinos fundraiser! On October 15, Harvest is hosting Winos for Rhinos at 835 J Street in Arcata, CA from 5-10pm.

ALL proceeds from the event are donated to protect precious rhino habitat!

Enjoy paired flights of wine with local cheese from Cypress Grove Chevre and local chocolate from 

Dick Taylor. Harvest will donate 25% of all additional wine, beer, and food sales to rhino conservation.

While you enjoy your tasty pairings, we will have a silent auction, live music from For Folk Sake, rhino trivia, a photobooth, and additional games. Our signature Winos for Rhinos wine glasses will be for sale for $5. Delicious appetizers will be available for purchase, along with a variety of beer and wine.

The event is free with a suggested donation of $5 to enter or the purchase of a flight.

Single wine flights (3 wine samples) with cheese OR chocolate samples are $25.

Double wine flights (6 wine samples) with cheese AND chocolate samples are $40.

Because we are volunteers, 100% of the funds raised from this event are donated directly to in-situ rhino conservation through AAZK's Bowling For Rhinos (BFR) program. Since 1990, BFR has donated over $6.3 million to rhino conservation efforts, protecting rhino habitat across multiple continents!

• In Kenya, BFR supports the Lewa Wildlife Conservancy where our donations help protect both black and white rhinos. These 93,000 acres protect 89 black rhinos (15% of Kenya's population) and 65 white rhinos (16% of Kenya's population). Lewa successfully protects their elephants and rhinos from poachers, losing not a single rhino to poaching last year.
• 
  
• In Indonesia, BFR supports the remaining Javan Rhinos at Ujung Kulon National Park and the Sumatran Rhinos in Bukit Barisan Selatan and Way Kambas National Parks through the International Rhino Foundation. Learn more about these great, effective projects here.
• 
  
• Also in Kenya, BFR supports Action for Cheetahs, a research-based conservation group. Cheetahs share much of the same habitat as rhinos, and by working to conserve cheetahs, we are also saving rhinos and countless other species in the region.

Can't wait to drink wine and save rhinos? Well, you're in luck! When you order your wine at www.givingvines.com, they will donate a percentage of your purchase to our BFR fund! In order for AAZK to receive your donation, you must (after completing your order) fill out the donation box with our information: Redwood Coast AAZK in Eureka, CA.
