Leaving a Legacy

As someone who cares about animals, you are invited to become a member of Wildlife Legacy Society, our special giving society, by providing for the Potawatomi Zoological Society in your estate plans. Through your thoughtful vision the Wildlife Legacy Society will help the Zoo thrive for future generations of families like yours and help protect endangered species by securing our conservation efforts. As a member of Wildlife Legacy Society you will receive recognition in special publications, and invitations to special events.

Through our wide array of options, you can benefit your loved ones and enjoy such benefits, as:

• Guaranteed income during your lifetime
