HONOR LIFE, CELEBRATE A LEGACY, SUPPORT WILDLIFE
Honor someone special while creating a lasting connection to the Zoo. Through plaques, benches, tiles and other meaningful tributes, your gift supports the care of the animals and inspires others to value the natural world.
We will notify your honoree of your thoughtful gesture and the difference it makes, ensuring your tribute carries both personal meaning and lasting impact. To discuss tribute gifts and naming opportunities, please contact the Donor Relations Team at 602.286.3800 or donorrelations@phoenixzoo.org.
ENGRAVED BENCH PLAQUE
Plaques can be engraved up to four lines, 28 characters per line. Bench placement is based on donor preference, but location is not guaranteed.
Tribute benches are a meaningful way to honor loved ones and provide Zoo guests with a special place for rest. Each bench is intended to remain on Zoo grounds for up to an estimated ten (10) years. In some cases, benches may be removed sooner if they are no longer in a condition to remain on grounds, as determined by the Phoenix Zoo.
