This year, our annual Sanaga-Yong Soirée will be hosted from 6pm-10pm, Saturday, September 23rd in the ballroom overlooking the scenic parkland style golf course of the Tualatin Country Club.

Our largest fundraising event of the year helps support the lifelong care we provide for our rescued chimpanzees.

~ Live music from the incredibly talented Brigitta Teuscher Quartet
~ One of a kind African art & decor
~ A Live Auction with once in a once in a lifetime experiences
~ The opportunity to virtually Adopt a Chimp
