Hannah Yaritz

Hannah Yaritz is passionate about Denver Zoo's mission and believes that the Zoo "talks the talk and walks the walk, and truly cares about the animals in their care as well as animal conservation efforts around the world." She went on to say that Denver Zoo is a good neighbor and partner in the community.

As a former Denver Zoo employee, Hannah has firsthand awareness of the Zoo's incredible work and efforts to secure a better world for animals. This gift though her retirement plan allows her to stay connected and give back to Denver Zoo.

"I wasn't able to make a large gift now," Hannah says, "but naming the Zoo as a beneficiary of my retirement plan allows me to make a bigger and more lasting impact in the future to an organization I care about."

Along with her dog, Blanca, and cat, Rio, Hannah's favorite animal is the snow leopard. She also enjoys hiking and the outdoors, including an upcoming camping trip to Leadville.
