As 2024 draws to a close, we want to take a moment to reflect on what has been a truly ama year for the Shannon Elizabeth Foundation and to express our deepest gratitude for your unwavering support. Together, we have achieved remarkable milestones, and none of it would have been possible without you.

One of this year’s highlights was our inaugural Rhino Rumble Championship, held in Las Vegas during the World Series of Poker. The event was an extraordinary success, bringing together passionate individuals united by a shared commitment to protecting endangered wildlife and, of course, poker. We are thrilled to announce that next year’s event promises to be even bigger and better, and we can’t wait to share more details with you soon!

Our work at Khusela Wildlife Sanctuary has continued to make a difference, not only for the incredible wildlife we strive to protect but also for the greater community that surrounds us. The sanctuary is thriving thanks to your generosity, but our mission is far from over. There is still much to do to ensure the long-term safety and well-being of Africa's most vulnerable species and their habitats.

As we look ahead to 2025, we are filled with hope and determination. Together, we can build on this year’s accomplishments, expand our reach, and deepen our impact. Your support fuels our mission and strengthens our resolve to be a beacon of hope for wildlife conservation.

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for believing in us, standing with us, and making everything we do possible. Here’s to a brighter, more compassionate future for all living beings.

Wishing you and your loved ones a joyful holiday season and a prosperous New Year.

With heartfelt gratitude,
The Shannon Elizabeth Foundation Team
