The best part? Proceeds from this event will benefit the nonprofit organization Kids Saving the Rainforest! Their mission is to protect the diverse wildlife on Costa Rica's Pacific Coast with conservation projects, which include KSTR's wildlife rescue center, where they rescue, rehabilitate, and release injured, sick, and orphaned animals back into the wild. Animals that can never be released because they were raised in captivity as illegal pets, became reliant on humans for food, or were permanently injured or disabled are cared for in KSTR's wildlife sanctuary.
