8th ANNUAL “BENEFIT EARTH BASH” AT SOUTHWICK’S ZOO
“EARTH Ltd.’s administrative facilities and our Discovery Center are housed at Southwick’s Zoo so we can reach visitors and spread EARTH’s mission and vision. The zoo allows EARTH to fundraise onsite and supports several of our most important events; and in return EARTH Ltd. delivers all of the zoo’s daily educational programs to nearly 350,000 seasonal visitors,” explains Betsey Brewer, Southwick’s Zoo Executive and Curator of Conservation and Education for EARTH Ltd. Established in 1999, EARTH Ltd. provides on-site programs and community outreach through the ZooMobile program, which travels to schools, libraries, camps, and other organizations to promote animal ecology, endangered species and wildlife conservation. The Discovery Center and ZooMobile are well-loved programs that rely heavily on fundraising and membership support.

In addition to Imperial Motors, event sponsors include Sysco, Whole Foods, Naked Grape Wines and the band, Sweet Tooth & the Sugar Babies.
