A Message From Waterstone Mortgage

At Waterstone Mortgage, our core values of family, community, and a healthy environment are at the heart of everything we do. We’re proud to return as the presenting sponsor for the 39th Annual Run for the Zoo on Sunday, May 3. For us, this is more than just a sponsorship; it’s an opportunity to invest in the future of our community and the natural world we all share.

This year’s event is particularly historic as we celebrate a massive milestone: the 100th Anniversary of Route 66.

Just as the “Mother Road” has connected travelers from across the country for a century, the Run for the Zoo connects our community to the vital conservation work of the New Mexico BioPark Society and the ABQ BioPark; providing education, world-class animal care, and a place for families to create lasting memories. That is why Run for the Zoo ensures that 100% of event proceeds go directly toward habitat improvements and the animals we love.

By aligning this year’s race with the Route 66 anniversary, we’re celebrating the spirit of New Mexico, connecting our local history with a commitment to a thriving ecosystem. Whether you are a competitive athlete or just looking for a morning stroll with the kids, there is a path for you.

We’re committed to making a positive impact on the lives of our neighbors, and we can’t wait to see you and your family at the finish line. Let’s run for the animals, for the environment, and for the future of New Mexico!

Sincerely,
Sue Leydig
Regional Sales Manager, Waterstone Mortgage
