LEGACY OF LOVE - HONORING GRIZZLY 399
Grizzly 399 touched the hearts of millions of fans with her remarkable story of resilience, motherhood, and grace, and transcended the boundaries for wildlife observation, captivating the hearts of those that followed her journey. She became a symbol of hope, an inspiration, and was a true testament to the delicate balance of nature. She was a true Angel Without Wings as she brought her inspiration and awareness about the critical challenges facing grizzly bear populations, and the need to take action to protect their habitats.

MONUMENT BRONZE DONOR PLAQUE
PERMANENT PLACEMENT AT THE MONUMENT
For donations of $5,000+, you are guaranteed permanent placement on the Monument Donor Plaque - size and order of placement dependent on size of donation and secured upon receipt of donation.
