WHY: Help get kids excited about science, technology, engineering and math, while learning about bunnies. Our events also serve as a fundraising mechanism to provide year round care for the bunnies in our program. Although most people think about rabbits in the spring, we have made a commitment to care for these bunnies for their lifetime so we need funding for the year.
If you have a scout troop working on an animal badge, contact our organization for more details about our scout classes that could potentially come to your site.
We have no paid teaching staff, so 100% of your fees are all given for the support of the rabbits used in our nonprofit educational programs. Thank you for partnering with us!
Thank you to Peacebunny Island rabbitry for supplying rabbits for our events!
