"Research Animal Retirement Foundation...aims to provide financial support for the retirement of non-human research primates and advocacy for non-human primate interests during end of laboratory career decisions."
The Research Animal Retirement Foundation was created to provide the necessary financial resources for NHP retirement initiatives, as well as advocacy for a paradigm shift in perspectives on end-of-career options for these animals among the research community at large.
In addition to providing direct financial support, our efforts will also be focused on outreach to the science community as well as the general public, promoting positive attitudes toward research that upholds the ethical responsibility to provide animals with a life outside the lab.
We believe that by reducing the financial burden of primate retirement, primate laboratories will welcome the idea of retiring these valuable animals to sanctuaries to live out their lives, rather than utilizing euthanasia as a default endpoint.
Please help Arizona AALAS by supporting our raffle. All proceeds go to the Research Animal Retirement Foundation.

Who was Louise Brooks?
Louise was a founding member of the Arizona AALAS branch and received both the Technician of the Year & Member of the Year awards for her dedication.
Louise loved children and came up with the idea of a annual charity raffle with proceeds going for toys and games for sick children at the Arizona Cancer Center. The raffle was named for her after her untimely death in 1996.
The Arizona branch still carries on the raffle in her honor and has since expanded to benefit 3 worthy regional charities.
