Reptile Halloween Party 2025
🎃 A Huge Thank You for Making Our Halloween Party a Success!
What an incredible night! We’re so grateful to everyone who joined us for our Halloween Party — your energy, creativity, and generosity made it a celebration to remember. 💚
A special shoutout to Oakland United Beerworks for being such fantastic hosts. From start to finish, their team was welcoming, organized, and an absolute pleasure to work with. 🍻
We also want to extend heartfelt thanks to all the businesses and individuals who donated raffle prizes. Your contributions helped make the evening both fun and impactful — we couldn’t have done it without you. 🙏
🐸 What Your Support Makes Possible
Funds raised from this event will help bring our live animal program into Oakland 3rd-grade classrooms as part of the Wonderful World of Frogs curriculum — a hands-on literacy program that uses local amphibians and reptiles to inspire young learners while strengthening both science and reading skills.
We’ve teamed up with Oakland Unified School District to enhance the 3rd-grade literacy curriculum by integrating locally focused science — and yes, our live animal ambassadors will be part of it!
Thanks to your support, we’ll be able to fund live animal sessions in 11 classrooms, where students will take part in 40-minute, bilingual, hands-on programs. They’ll observe, touch, and ask questions as they meet reptiles and other safe-to-handle animals — fostering curiosity, empathy, and respect for local wildlife.
✨ These memorable interactions help build stronger, safer connections between students and the natural world around them.
💚 We’re Almost There!
Because of your generosity, we’re thrilled to launch these programs in just two weeks — and we’re almost fully funded!
We’re so close to reaching our goal, and your continued support can help us cross the finish line. If you’d like to help bring this experience to even more students, please consider making a donation — every bit truly makes a difference.
Thank you again for being part of our community and helping us make learning come alive — for students, frogs, and everyone in between. 🐸💚
