Gunda's Circle
When the first elephant, Gunda, arrived at the Tulsa Zoo in 1954, no one could have imagined the impact she would have on the community or the legacy she would leave behind.
When you make a minimum planned gift of $1,000 and add the Tulsa Zoo to your will or estate plans, you become a member of a very special group, Gunda’s Circle, and will receive the following benefits:
- Recognition within the new front entry of the zoo
- Recognition in annual report
- Invitation to annual recognition breakfast
- Invitation to exhibit openings and special previews at the zoo
- Individualized behind-the-scenes tour for you and your family (offered annually)
- Commemorative glass plaque with photo of Gunda
- Personalized certificate in honor of your thoughtfulness and generosity
The Tulsa Zoo offers the services of a professional estate planning specialist at no cost to you.
Your planned gift in 2025 could lead to additional support thanks to a special challenge grant from Tulsa Community Foundation. To learn more, contact [email protected].
