Happy Birthday, Pam!
October 25, 2021 by Katelyn -
Many thanks to Mary, Jessy, Rita and Toni for choosing to sponsor a day of sanctuary for the chimpanzees in honor of Pam Lehnert on her birthday! It is so kind of you to celebrate Pam in this way!
“Happiest of birthdays to our dear friend Pam Lehnert, who has contributed many hours of support to the chimp sanctuary. Mary, Jessy, Rita and Toni.”
Pam is a dear friend and former volunteer of the sanctuary and has helped to make many of our (pre-pandemic) HOOT! Galas the successes they’ve been. She and her husband, Marc, are among the original supporters of the sanctuary and they’ve been, and continue to be, part of making so much possible not only for the original seven chimpanzees, but for the nine chimpanzees who’ve also come to call the sanctuary their home.
Happy Birthday, Pam! Thank you for being part of our chimp family and for bringing so much to so many lives. We hope you have the most beautiful day of celebration!

Happy Brithday Pam. I look forward to the day when you can return to your volunteering full time and you can dive into the HOOT! helping to make it the In Person Event of the century. You are fortunate to have dear friends who understand that there is no better gift than the gift of giving to better the lives of those you hold dear. Thanks for caring for our chimpanzee and bovine friends. Have a fabulous year!
PS to Katelyn : I just love that sweet photo of Jamie! Actually, I love all the photos 🙂 but that photo of Jamie is a heart-melter.
Kathleen, isn’t that one the best? It’s a favorite of mine as well – one that Kelsi captured. 🙂
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, PAM
