The Fun Run is a vital fundraiser for Riverview Park and Zoo. By running or walking this year you are helping with our 2020 goal of raising $10,000 toward the $50,000 indoor cat holding, home to our lynx and servals, expansion project. Those interested in supporting this year’s goal can donate on our website anytime.
