Through this collaborative effort, First Commonwealth will serve as the official sponsor of the giraffe exhibit for the next four years.

Supporting Tatu and Joshua allows us to contribute to the vital mission of the LVZ while fostering a deeper connection between our members and the natural world.
” Beyond sponsorship, the partnership aims to elevate the visitor experience at the giraffe exhibit. Educational signage and interactive elements will be incorporated to provide zoo patrons with a deeper understanding of giraffe biology, habitat needs, and the challenges these magnificent creatures face in the wild. “We are thrilled to welcome First Commonwealth Federal Credit.
