An Example of How It Works

Rosemary McManis Rosemary McManis, who was a child when she first came to Denver Zoo in the 1950s with her family, is a Wildlife Heritage Society and Zoo Pride member. She is a longtime Park Hill resident and credits her parents for teaching her and her brother to love and respect animals.

Right from the start, Rosemary was mesmerized with everything at Denver Zoo, especially Cookie the iconic elephant. Her love of animals has kept her coming back to the zoo throughout the years.

She appreciates the care the animals receive and the zoo's conservation efforts, both across the globe and close to home. Rosemary has included a gift in her will "in order to enable generations of people to view these majestic animals in person whereas they might not be able to otherwise see them in their lifetime."
