Each year Zoo Tampa  at Lowry Park - Tampa, Florida holds an annual fund raiser Karamu. The funds raised provide crucial support for animal care, education programs, and wildlife conservation efforts. As a non-profit organization, the Zoo depends on contributions from donors to help enrich the lives of animals, and inspire generations of youth to protect our natural heritage. As my way to participate, each year I donate a framed and matted giclee print of one of their animals that I've painted that year to be auctioned for the event.
