Their purpose is to market <br />and solicit charitable donations to support the operations, maintenance and expansion of <br />SAZAPP. FOSAZ recently raised and donated the funds for the Zoo's newest exhibit, The <br />Brazilian Ocelot Habitat. FOSAZ and the City of Santa Ana collaborate on programs to further <br />the mission of SAZAPP. FOSAZ oversees many planning and fundraising efforts, including the <br />annual "Boo at the Zoo" event and "Zoofari" black -tie gala. They also provide staffing and <br />maintenance for special events, zoo rentals, and the Treetop Toys Gift Shop. <br />The Friends of Santa Ana Zoo currently own and operate two concession rides at SAZAPP, the <br />Zoofari Express Train Ride and the Endangered Species Carousel. These attractions are <br />favorites of the Zoo's guests. The two rides bring in over $250,000 a year in net concession <br />revenue for FOSAZ that is spent on projects and operations at SAZAPP. FOSAZ would add a <br />third ride, a 65 -foot tall Ferris wheel, next to the train and carousel. This new attraction will <br />provide guests with an exciting ride and unique view of the zoo. The Ferris wheel will be <br />maintained and operated by FOSAZ. The Ferris wheel is projected to be open in January 2017 <br />and raise an additional $100,000 in net concession profits annually for FOSAZ. <br />25E -1 <br />
