Sanctuary DVD

Our awe-inspiring, 12-minute DVD provides you and your guests with a unique inside look at the Born Free USA Primate Sanctuary. You’ll have a chance to see monkeys foraging, playing, grooming, and swimming and diving in a natural, free-range environment. You will meet monkeys like Carly and Chessie, ex-pets who are now being rehabilitated so that they may one day live with others of their kind. In addition, witness a group of bonnet macaques touch grass and see sky and sunlight for the first time after being released to our Sanctuary from a research facility. Click here to view photos of the monkeys. Contact us today to let us know you are planning to have a house party and you’ll receive a copy of this video to screen at the party.

Invitations and Posters

Download these cool monkey invites and/or poster to help you promote your event. You can customize to your needs, print and mail, or email to everyone on your list. If you are hosting a party open to the public, be sure to print and hang posters around your neighborhood — in your local coffee shop, library, community bulletin board, workplace, etc.

Best to use thick paper for the cards and postcards — and recycled paper whenever you can. Just click to start download (high resolution Word files for use on your home printer or at a copy store), personalize copy and print (the card and postcards will need to be cut). Or you can use your own invitations.
