R•I•T•Z HISTORY

Since it began in 1984, R•I•T•Z has raised over $12 million for the San Diego Zoo, San Diego Zoo Safari Park, and the San Diego Zoo Institute for Conservation Research. Beneficiaries at the Zoo include Sun Bear Forest, Gorilla Tropics, Elephant Odyssey, Ituri Forest, and Pygmy Chimps at Bonobo Road.
