AAZK Bowling Bash

AAZK Bowling Bash

Come join us for a fun night of bowling at our Bowling Bash! It's a great way to meet fellow animal lovers and enjoy some friendly competition. Whether you're a pro bowler or just in it for the laughs, this event is perfect for everyone. Bring your A-game and get ready to strike down those pins while supporting a good cause.

If you have attended prior bowling events, those were called Bowling for Rhinos (BFR) where 100% of the proceeds go to rhino habitat conservation in Africa and Asia. The proceeds for this year's event will be going to help the Phoenix Chapter of AAZK who is hosting the 50th National AAZK Conference in October 2025 here in Phoenix. We will be making a $2,000 donation to BFR this year, thanks to the Phoenix Zoo! BFR will be returning in 2026. See you at the bowling alley!

If we are not sold out, we will be accepting registration ($50) at the door on a first come, first serve basis and we can not guarantee that you will be able to bowl with your group, though we will try to make it work!
