From all of us at the Center for Great Apes - thank you for being part of our From the Heart of the Sanctuary online auction!

Whether you registered to bid, donated an item, placed a bid, or won a special treasure, your support makes a lasting difference in the lives of the orangutans and chimpanzees who call our sanctuary home.

Thanks to you, we’re able to provide lifelong care, enrichment, and a safe, peaceful environment for our 66 resident great apes. Every bid placed and every dollar raised helps us continue this important work.

We hope your auction experience brought you joy, and that your winning items remind you of the love and compassion at the heart of our sanctuary.

With heartfelt gratitude,
The Center for Great Apes Team
