Stroll down memory lane at Zoobilee's 25th anniversary

Zoobilee is turning 25, and you can join the party at an all-new “after party” event that’s jam-packed with food, drink, music and dancing under the stars for just $75 per person.

The Twilight Stroll will take place following the traditional VIP Zoobilee dinner and auction. This separate event will allow more people to get in on the Zoobilee fun.

“We’re pleased to present an exciting new concept for the 25th anniversary of Zoobilee,” said Zoo Society Executive Director Lawrence Norvell. “The Twilight Stroll provides a wonderful opportunity for more members of the public to come and celebrate all that is Zoobilee.”

Zoobilee is The Zoo Society’s signature fund-raising event and has raised more than $1 million in just the last three years. It supports a number of Zoo conservation initiatives and education programs.

Zoo Society Board President Karen Veitenhans and Board Member Pamela Baade are co-chairs for the event, which is sponsored by The Boeing Company.

This year, anyone can support the Zoo and Zoobilee by participating in one of three auctions—online, silent, and live. The auctions will feature unique Zoo experiences, once-in-a-lifetime trips, wine, weekend getaways, jewelry and more.

If you want to be among the first bidders in this year’s online auction, it’s best to sign up early. For details on how to sign up, visit www.pdza.org/zoobilee-auction. Bidding will start on July 10 and end on July 24.
