REGISTRATION FEE INCLUDES

Entry fees to the Samson Stomp include a long-sleeve T-shirt, Zoo admission and parking (for the participant only) and beverages. Zoological Society memberships do not apply to this fundraising event.

Due to safety concerns, no strollers, in-line skates or similar devices permitted.

During the event, help take part in our mission of conservation by donating your old cell phones to the Zoo for recycling. The drop-off area is located in the Zoo’s U.S. Bank Gathering Place. Recycling cell phones reduces the need for additional colton, a mineral extracted from the forests of Congo – home to endangered lowland gorillas. The colton mining business has led to a dramatic reduction of the gorillas’ habitat.

After you’re done STOMPING, visit our gift shops to receive a 20% discount with a Pick’n Save register receipt showing the purchase of any Gatorade product. Present the receipt at any gift shop register. Offer valid January 15, 2012; does not apply to food purchases.
