COLUMBUS, Ohio — The Columbus Zoo and Aquarium Partners in Conservation made its annual grant to the Gorilla Doctors, but this year with a special addition—dedicating the grant in honor of Betty White who died on Dec. 31.
The Zoo's group will grant $40,000 in privately raised funds to the Gorilla Doctors. That money will help support the salaries of three field veterinarians who monitor gorilla health year-round and treat life-threatening illnesses or injuries sustained in their native area. “Betty White was a champion for Zoos and she will be greatly missed. The Columbus Zoo team is eager to honor her legacy and felt a grant to Gorillas Doctors in her name would be a fitting tribute to her love of animals big and small,” said Tom Schmid, president/CEO of the Columbus Zoo and Aquarium, in a press release.
