Save the Tigers

The Detroit Tigers have teamed up with The National Fish and Wildlife Foundation's Save the Tiger Fund to help save tigers in the wild. More about the Fund »

The Detroit Tigers have partnered with the National Fish and Wildlife's Save The Tiger Fund to create Pennies for Paws, a coin collection campaign at Comerica Park which raises funds to save endangered wild tigers and promote tiger conservation.

Since the inception of the program in April 2008, Tigers fans have helped raise nearly $21,000 which has been invested into tiger conservation projects of the Save the Tiger Fund that have supported more than 50 tigers.

The Save the Tiger Fund's conservation programs are committed to stabilizing and recovering the tiger population with a target to double the world's estimated 3,200-3,500 remaining wild tigers by 2022. As a result of conservation programs, the population of Amur (Siberian) tigers has increased from 50 to a recent estimate of approximately 500 tigers.
