SHARE THE POWER OF A WISH®

7 year-old Zander has wished to be a Zookeeper and we need YOUR help! On May 12th Zander was declared an Honorary Zookeeper. Minutes later he received breaking news that an alligator had been spotted on the loose in Dallas. His first task as Zookeeper is to track down the alligator and safely transport it to its new home at the Dallas Zoo.

May 12-25, 2012
Help Zander spot the alligator’s tracks throughout the metroplex (and beyond) which can be done one of two ways:

#1 Download & print alligator tracks from the Make-A-Wish website, cut out the tracks, place them around your home, work or a public landmark, take a picture and upload it to our Make-A-Wish North Texas facebook page

Print your Gator Tracks!

#2 Help Zander gather the supplies needed to track down the loose alligator by doing the following:

Zander’s Hunt for the alligator begins!

At 8:30am Zander will be called to the Make-A-Wish office where he will receive an important note from former President George W. Bush. The former president asks Zander to check out some suspicious tracks at the presidential library construction site. There, Zander will follow the tracks to a clue which will lead him on a scavenger hunt around Downtown Dallas in hopes of securing the alligator.
