Visible Recognition: Your support lasts forever!

Donors of $2,500 or more will be permanently recognized. Donors of $25,000 or more will receive highly visible recognition on the Honor Wall, located at the center of the exhibit. Donors at the $1,000+ level will receive a commemorative "piece of pachy" medallion, crafted from the iron bars in the former Pachyderm Building. All recognition lasts for the lifetime of African Elephant Crossing.
