ALLENTOWN, PA, UNITED STATES, June 13, 2024 /EINPresswire.com/ -- First Commonwealth Federal Credit Union and the Lehigh Valley Zoo are thrilled to announce their new partnership, which aims to enhance wildlife conservation and community engagement through a shared commitment to environmental stewardship. Over the next four years, visitors to the Lehigh Valley Zoo will experience the wonder of the giraffe exhibit, proudly sponsored by First Commonwealth Federal Credit Union.

This partnership celebrates the arrival of two distinguished giraffes, Tatu and Joshua, who have journeyed from the expansive savannas of Africa to become a part of our greater Lehigh Valley community. These magnificent creatures are a delight to behold and serve as ambassadors for their species, promoting awareness and fostering hope through their conservation stories.

"We are excited to partner with Lehigh Valley Zoo in this meaningful initiative," said Jim Gagliano, Chief Experience Officer at First Commonwealth Federal Credit Union. "Supporting Tatu and Joshua reflects our dedication to making a positive impact in the community and our commitment to preserving our natural world."

The giraffe exhibit offers an immersive experience for zoo visitors, providing educational insights into the lives of giraffes and the challenges they face in the wild. Through this exhibit, First Commonwealth Federal Credit Union and Lehigh Valley Zoo hope to inspire visitors to learn about and contribute to conservation efforts.
