What will HOOT! 2025 be like?

It will be a night filled with fun, games, and a chance to invest in CSNW’s mission, all while surrounded by fellow animal-lovers. Join us in person at Block 41 in Seattle or tune in online! 

 

We want everyone to join, so we’ve designed two ways to participate:

 

HOOT! 2025 – In Person

 

We'll gather together at Block 41 in Seattle, WA at 5PM for a welcome reception. Guests will be greeted at registration, with drinks, hearty vegan appetizers along with games and activities to break the ice, enjoy together and get to know more about our sanctuary. 

 

Just before 6:30PM, we’ll take our seats just before we join our online audience for the live broadcast program.

 

We'll hear from our supporters and leaders and share how your support helps Chimpanzee Sanctuary Northwest (CSNW) offer a better, dignified life for chimpanzees rescued from the biomedical research industry. We will inspire you with meaningful stories, messages of hope, and opportunities to invest in CSNW.

 

After we say goodbye to our online audience, stick around for more socializing, food, and drinks. Tickets to attend can be purchased here.

 

HOOT! 2025 – Online

​

RSVP for free to join us for a live broadcast—you’ll get a front-row seat to the program at Block 41! We’ll get started right at 6:30PM Pacific, with a short pre-show starting around 6PM.

 

Make it a watch party and invite friends and family to join you, say hi to us in the chat, and get ready to invest in one of only a handful of sanctuaries in the country that cares for chimpanzees. We’ll enjoy the same program as our friends gathered in Seattle, with the same messages of hope and opportunities to invest in CSNW.

 

The broadcast is free to watch and everyone’s invited! Please RSVP here so we know you’re coming.

​

No matter how you join, everyone can invest in CSNW in our fun online auction opening October 1!
