For over 34 years, GAAR has been a proud sponsor and coordinator of volunteers for the New Mexico BioPark's annual fundraiser, Run for the Zoo...and walk with us too!
GAAR will continue this important tradition in 2023, but we need YOUR help. In addition to cheering on the race participants, a variety of services are needed, such as handing out flyers, providing directions at intersections, keeping the runners safe, flagging*, etc.
