The next Rhino Rumble bounty has been placed, and it’s on Ahmed Karrim.

“I have never once beaten Ahmed at the table. Not even with aces in my hand. Though to be fair, he has more poker skill in his left pinky finger than I have in my entire body.”
— Shannon Elizabeth

Some players don’t just win hands. They make you remember the hand you lost. Ahmed is one of those players. Difficult to read, always present at the crucial moments, and no stranger to deep runs. He reached the final table at the first Rhino Rumble Poker Championship, and now he’s back as our bounty for the second year running.

“The more you give, the more you get.”
— Ahmed Karrim

The Rhino Rumble brings celebrities, high-stakes players, and passionate supporters together in one room, all playing for something bigger than the game itself.

The Shannon Elizabeth Foundation rescues, rehabilitates, and protects endangered wildlife, conserving habitats and creating lasting impact for future generations.

The first bounty has been placed, and she is .

She taught herself poker from a book gifted as a joke. Then she used it to make the final table of the WPT Celebrity Invitational in 2008 and, in 2010, finished 3rd.
She doesn't bluff. She doesn't need to. And now Shannon Elizabeth has put a bounty on her head.

Here’s how it works:

Some journeys change you forever.

Sometimes, it starts with a single moment. One you can’t unsee, and can’t walk away from.

What follows is a choice: to step closer, to stay, and to do more.

That choice continues to shape everything that followed. From building something real on the ground, to supporting the people and places that protect what remains.

Today, that commitment lives on through every life in our care, and every step taken alongside those on the frontlines.

Some moments never really leave you.

Over the past months, much of the work at the Shannon Elizabeth Foundation has taken place quietly, as it often does in conservation.
Behind the scenes, the focus has remained on consistent care, responsible stewardship, and strengthening the foundations that support long-term impact.

These quieter periods are often where the most meaningful progress happens, refining processes, deepening purpose, and preparing for what comes next. As we re-engage across our platforms, we look forward to sharing more of this journey, not only the visible moments, but the ongoing work that makes them possible.

Thank you to those who continue to support wildlife protection in both the seen and unseen ways. 🦏🌿 🤍

Happy New Year from all of us at the Shannon Elizabeth Foundation 🤍

As 2025 comes to a close, we want to thank every single person who stood with us this year. Your support helped protect Munu and laid the foundation for what comes next.

There’s still time to make a year-end, tax-deductible donation before December 31. Your gift can be applied to your 2025 charitable write-off while directly supporting wildlife protection and the future of Khusela.

With gratitude and hope for all that 2026 will bring. ✨

At the Shannon Elizabeth Foundation, we’re building a sanctuary where endangered wildlife can heal, where critical land is protected, and where local communities become guardians of the wild.

Your generosity today directly accelerates:
🦏 Our rehabilitation center for endangered wildlife
🌿 New black rhino holding bomas to ensure safe recovery and pre-release care
🛡️ More wildlife monitors, rangers, and security teams
💚 Meaningful jobs for the people who safeguard these precious animals

Khusela is more than a sanctuary—it’s a lifeline for species on the brink.
And with your support, we can expand this impact even further in 2026.

When we strengthen one sanctuary, we strengthen entire ecosystems.

Join us this Giving Tuesday and help build a safer future for wildlife.👉
