Project R&R’s In Their Own Words was warmly welcomed by nearly 250 participants at Chicago’s Cultural Center on Thursday, March 22nd. The program brought to life the stories of chimpanzees from research to sanctuary through first-hand accounts by former laboratory caregiver Nancy Megna and Fauna sanctuary leader and Project R&R honorary co-chair Gloria Grow, recently featured on PBS’ NATURE documentary Chimpanzees: An Unnatural History.

Thanks to all our wonderful volunteers who helped to make the evening a great success, including videographer David Aaron, photographer Pat Cummings, and musicians Harry Hmura and Keith Wollenberg for volunteering their wonderful talents!
