Many thanks to Dr. Lori Sheeran for sponsoring this special day of sanctuary in honor of Dr. Jessica Mayhew!

“Happy Birthday to Dr. Jessica Mayhew! A friend of chimpanzees everywhere, but she is a special champion of the chimpanzees living at Chimpanzee Sanctuary Northwest.”

Both Jessica and Lori graciously serve non-human and human primates alike with such heartfelt dedication and kindness, not only as Professors of Anthropology at Central Washington University in the Primate Behavior and Ecology Program, but also as members of the sanctuary’s Board of Directors. We are so grateful and fortunate to have them both as members of the chimpanzees’ extended family.

All of us here wish you the happiest of birthdays yet, Jessica! Have a beautiful, happy-filled day!
