Many thanks to long-time friend and supporter of the chimpanzees, Donna Hughes for sponsoring this day of sanctuary in memory and celebration of her sister, Doreen Hughes, and their special day:

“Remembering Doreen today, on our birthday. Always a bittersweet day for me, but Sponsoring The Day always makes me happy. Doreen LOVED all of the chimps at CSNW and the people who care for them. It was one of the best days EVER the day we visited in person. So, Happy Birthday, Doreen!!! You are missed every day. I know you have our dog and cats on your lap above. I have a new friend, Pumpkin, on mine. Let’s celebrate with Foxie and Friends!”

Happy Birthday to you and Doreen, Donna, from all of us here at the sanctuary! We will always hold the memories of your visit with joy and we truly appreciate you both being part of the chimpanzees’ lives for so many years. We’re thinking of you and Pumpkin today and envisioning you whooping it up, Foxie-style, in whatever way feels best. Maybe a pirouette or two thrown in. 🙂
