SPONSOR A BAT IN NEED

Sponsorships help us provide food and medical supplies for the bats who cannot be released back to the wild. Become a sponsor by sending a donation of $35.00 (teachers & existing members: $25.00). Makes a great learning tool for children or the perfect gift for bat enthusiasts, conservationists, or for the person who has everything! Please note: This program supports actual bats (pictured below) who will live out their lives at Bat World Sanctuary (click here to see where the bats live). Bats are occasionally retired due to old age or illness, but otherwise remain in the program for anyone who wishes to help with their support.
 
       Sponsors receive:
  • A personalized adoption certificate.
  • A matted 5" x 7" glossy photograph of your bat.
  • Your bat's personal story.
  • A graphic representing the size of your bat.
  • The natural history of the species.
  • A beautiful bookmark.
  • A bat rescue card.
  • A "Cool Stuff to Make You Smarter" myths and facts card.
  • A one-year membership to Bat World Sanctuary that includes our seasonal newsletter, Bat World News!
