Annual fundraiser benefits keeping animals in the circus.
The Outdoor Amusement Business Association (OABA) has released the latest in a series of collectible pins available to circus enthusiasts and animal lovers--the lion.
In its 45th year, the OABA continues to advocate for performing animals in the circus. The organization and its affiliated members strongly support the right of USDA-licensed animal owners to partner with circuses for the public's education and entertainment. The OABA also supports conservation programs that protect endangered species in the diminishing wild areas of the world.
The pins have included familiar circus animals like elephants, tigers, camels, zebras, and giraffes. OABA volunteers sell the pins as a fundraiser for the continuing advocacy efforts of the organization.
For more information, please contact OABA, Bob Johnson, President, 1035 S. Semoran, Suite 1045 A, Winter Park, FL 32792 or 800-517-OABA. Membership in the organization is encouraged. Members of the Circus Fans Association of America (CFA) volunteer each year to make the pins available to the public. Contact your local Tent or Top officers for more information.
