Every Winter WildLand Visit Helps Local Families

This season, our Winter WildLand holiday event benefits hundreds of Head Start families in the Pikes Peak region. Head Start is a comprehensive preschool and family program providing early childhood education complimented by health and social services for the whole family. You can help simply by making a visit to Winter WildLand. Each visit helps a Head Start family have a special experience at Cheyenne Mountain Zoo in 2009.

When the Winter WildLand total attendance reaches 5,000 guests, the Zoo will serve 50 Head Start families with a special visit to the Zoo. When attendance hits 10,000 guests, another 50 families will be served. Then, with each subsequent increment of 5,000 guests attending Winter WildLand, another 100 families will be served. Ultimately, up to 500 Head Start families through CPCD could benefit with a special family visit and experience to Cheyenne Mountain Zoo.

The special Giving Tree is located near the Loft. With each group of families receiving Zoo visits, corresponding ornaments will be placed on the tree creating a visual representation of the number of families served.
