(Cincinnati) February 29, 2024- Kanga-you keep up with another day on the calendar? To celebrate this rarest of birthdays that occurs only once every four years, The Christ Hospital Health Network and the Cincinnati Zoo & Botanical Garden are teaming up to mark the special occasion.
Little “Joeys” born at our Mt. Auburn or Liberty Birthing Centers on Leap Day (February 29) will receive one of these limited-edition “Leaping Into Life” kangaroo onesies. The families will also receive two tickets to the Cincinnati Zoo for them to enjoy.
“We leapt at the chance to participate in this celebration,” said Chad Yelton, Vice President of Marketing for the Cincinnati Zoo & Botanical Garden. “This sort of opportunity only comes around every 4 years, so of course we hopped onboard. We hope that the adorable onesies bring joy to all who become new parents today.”
You can also find a video featuring Samantha Young, MD, Obstetrics & Gynecology at The Christ Hospital Health Network and Shae Burns, manager of wild encounters at the Cincinnati Zoo & Botanical Gardens talking about fun facts on the similarities and differences in baby humans and baby kangaroos.
The Christ Hospital Health Network and the Cincinnati Zoo & Botanical Garden previously teamed up for a special onesie that celebrated Fritz’s birthday last year.
From all of us at The Christ Hospital Health Network & the Cincinnati Zoo & Botanical Garden, we wish these families a Happy Leap Day!
