Thanksgiving for the Animals – Sponsor a Feast!

Special Feeding Events: Sunday, November 23 & Wednesday, November 26
 

Thanksgiving week isn’t just for people — it’s a perfect time to give our snakes, lizards, frogs, and turtles a feast of their own. Join us for two special Feeding Day Fundraisers at My Nature Lab:

  • Sunday Feast – Sunday, November 23rd - 10 AM until 4 PM

  • Mid-Week Feast – Wednesday, November 26 - 9 AM until 1 PM

Your sponsorship directly supports the year-round care of more than 200 animals who call the Lab home and helps keep programs like Feeding Friday alive and thriving.

  • Recognition at the front desk

  • Recognition during feedings

  • A fun family photo with one of our Lab animals

$100+ - Thanksgiving Hero

Make a big impact with a gift of $100 or more. Includes:

  • All the recognition of an Hour sponsor above, plus

  • All day recognition during both feeding events, Sunday and Wednesday

 Your support matters! 

The actual cost of bugs and mice may be small, but caring for our animals, maintaining habitats, and running educational programs takes a tremendous amount of time, staffing, and resources. Your sponsorship helps ensure that the animals (and the community who loves them) continue to thrive.

Can’t make the Feasts? No problem!  Make a donation in honor of your family, your business, or someone else, and we will recognize you/them during the feeding you choose, the hour you choose, or as a Thanksgiving Hero! 

Thank you for supporting the Lab this Thanksgiving week. We can’t wait to celebrate with you on Sunday and Wednesday!
