This Star Wars Day, you can do something truly out of this world—help name one of our newest cheetah cubs and support efforts to keep cheetahs where they belong: in the wild.
Whether you choose the wise Kenobi, the brave Lando, or the adorable Grogu, your votes help protect the fastest cat on Earth.
Voting is open through May the 4th and we will announce the winning name on TikTok, Facebook, Instagram, X and YouTube @ccfcheetah on Revenge of the 5th!
Star Wars Day Names

- Chewie

Each vote is a $5 donation to Cheetah Conservation Fund—and you can vote as many times as you’d like! Every vote helps us raise critical funds to protect cheetah cubs from being taken from the wild—a serious threat to their survival. So vote often, and share the link across galaxies near and far.
Your participation also helps launch Chewbaaka’s Wild Cheetah Challenge, our June campaign named for CCF’s beloved ambassador cheetah. Chewbaaka inspired thousands to care about cheetahs, and with your help, we’ll carry on his legacy by keeping wild cubs safe and free.
