The San Antonio Zoo’s ‘Cry Me A Cockroach’ fundraiser has returned for another year! The fourth-annual fundraising event is going on now through Feb. 14.
“The season of love and loath is back,” said CEO of San Antonio Zoo Tim Morrow, President. “Whether it was a sour romance, a breakup with your work, or a collective dislike for a 2022 trend, the Cry Me a Cockroach Fundraiser is here to help you leave that negativity behind."
How it works:
You purchase a live cockroach ($10), a frozen rat ($25), or veggies ($5), and zoo staff members will feed it to animals on Valentine’s Day.
As a part of your $5.00, $10.00, or $25.00 donation, YOU will receive:
- A digital downloadable Valentine’s Day Card showing your support for the Cry Me a Cockroach Fundraiser. Be sure to share the fun on social media with hashtag #CryMeACockroach and tag @SanAntonioZoo on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and TikTok!
As a part of your $5.00, $10.00, or $25.00 donation, YOUR not-so-special someone will receive:
- OPTIONAL SEND: A digital downloadable Valentine’s Day Card informing them they were named after a cockroach, rodent, or veggie and fed to an animal at San Antonio Zoo!
Funds raised through the event will help benefit the zoo. Last year, there were more than 7,000 donations from all 50 states and 30 different countries. Sign up on the zoo’s website.
