About Born Free:
Born Free USA is a 501c3 leading wildlife protection organization working tirelessly to ensure that all wild animals, whether living in captivity or in the wild, are treated with compassion and respect and are able to live their lives according to their needs. We oppose the exploitation of wild animals in captivity and campaign to keep them where they belong - in the wild. We promote Compassionate Conservation, in addition to operating the largest monkey sanctuary in the country.
About our event:
On September 26 th we are having a fundraising event, "A Night for Wildlife", at White Space Chelsea to raise money for our sanctuary, and other wildlife programs. We will be having light appetizers and drinks accompanied by an auction and presentation. Our President and host for the night Will Travers will be accompanied by our special guest and co-founder, Virginia McKenna, star of the award winning film, Born Free.

Mission Statement
Born Free USA is a national animal advocacy nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization, contributions to which are tax-deductible. Our mission is to end the suffering of wild animals in captivity, rescue individual animals in need, protect wildlife -- including highly endangered species -- in their natural habitats, and encourage compassionate conservation globally.
Description
We work actively with media and use powerful tools including legislation, public education, litigation, and grassroots networking to spread the word about challenges facing wildlife.
Through our campaigns, we work to end the use of animals in entertainment, captivity of exotic animals, trapping and fur trades, and international wildlife trade.
We also run the Born Free USA Primate Sanctuary in Dilley, Texas. The sanctuary provides a safe, permanent home for hundreds of nonhuman primates (macaques, baboons, and vervets), many of whom were rescued from abusive situations in research facilities, roadside zoos, or private possession.
