What is the Sponsorship Program?
This is a program where you as an individual, school, group or corporation can get involved to help feed and create a natural habitat for your favorite critter, or save an endangered species. When an Sponsorship is done in your name, you may be assured that the animal you have chosen will receive the full benefit of your contribution. Different types of Sponsorships are described below.  All Sponsorships are annual except Platinum and Life Saver. 

Personal Sponsorship

You may choose the animal of your choice, then you will receive Sponsorship & animal history papers in your name, a picture of your critter, plus a news letter.

School Or Grade Sponsorship

Get your students involved! Your School Or Grade Could Win A Free Half Day Field Trip To The Ellijay Wildlife Sanctuary. Each year we will have a Change-A-Thon Fund Drive to help save America’s most endangered mammal, the Eastern Cougar. The winner of the contest will receive a free field trip, Sponsorship papers of their favorite animal and a large picture for their school or classroom. Winner to be announced in the newsletter. Any Sponsorship in excess of $600 will entitle your school or classroom to a live appearance of your critter to your school for a formal presentation of your Sponsorship papers.*

Corporate Sponsorship

A corporation or business may choose to use this program as a team building incentive to bring recognition to your business, which would include media coverage for all Sponsorships of $2500 or more. We would also bring your adopted animal to your location to present the Sponsorship papers to you.* Employee who raises the most money will get to have his picture made with that animal.

Life Saver Sponsorship

This sponsorship includes an overnight campout and a 11x14 picture with your animal.
