Saving the Elephants 10K Run/Walk

Elephants Need Our Help!

One Elephant is Being Killed Every 15 Minutes
What Can You Do?

Register today for the Second Annual Saving the Elephants 10K Run/Walk at bit.ly/ster2015 to benefit The David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust (DSWT).  You can run, jog or walk your way around beautiful Central Park while helping protect this majestic species!

Each day, close to 100 elephants are killed for their tusks threatening their future.  At the current poaching rate, elephants will be extinct in the wild by 2025. Many elephants targeted by poachers have milk dependent calves, and without family or a mother, a baby elephant has little chance of survival.   Through the dedication and hard work of the DSWT, rescued orphaned baby elephants now have a second chance at life in the wild. Currently, the DSWT has 31 milk dependent calves and more than 150 orphans in their care.

Through the generous participation of more than 500 runners last November, the event raised more than $25,000 to support the orphans at DSWT.  This year, we are looking to host 1,000 participants and double last years’ donation to DSWTRegister today and you will help provide the vital funds needed to protect these magnificent animals.  All net proceeds will benefit the projects of the DSWT.

We are proud to welcome and recognize our Presenting Sponsor, HPS Jewelers, and our Contributing Sponsor, Extraordinary Journeys!
