Streak for Tigers
Yesterday's poem The Tyger leads us to today's event.
You've heard of a school of fish and a pride of lions. A term for a group of tigers is a streak. That gave the zookeepers at the London Zoo an idea for a fundraising event involving people streaking around the zoo. Streak for Tigers is now an annual fundraiser held at the London Zoo. This is zookeeper Grant Kother in a 2013 publicity photo promoting the event.
Participants pledge to raise money for the zoo.
Some participants wear tiger body paint. All are naked. After all, it's a streak!
Over the years, Streak for Tigers has raised hundreds of thousands of pounds, all of which goes toward conservation of tigers in the wild. That should make anybody smile.

so nice idea!
That's really cool. Great idea that has worked for them. Thus, promoting two good things at once!
