In less than two weeks the Buttonwood Park Zoo (425 Hawthorn St.) will be hosting their annual summer fundraising gala, a Wild Night at the Zoo. The gala will be held from 6-10 PM on Saturday, July 23rd.
This is the perfect opportunity to experience the zoo from a different perspective, as it becomes transformed into a ‘Wild Night at the Zoo’ with an open bar, dinner buffet, live and silent auctions, as well as music! The Annual Fundraising Gala also brings an exclusive chance to meet the Buttonwood Park Zoo’s Asian elephants Ruth and Emily. Ruthy’s 25th Anniversary at the Zoo makes this year’s gala all that more special and celebratory!
From Buttonwood Park Zoo: “SAVE THE DATE for the Buttonwood Park Zoological Society’s annual fundraising gala on July 23! Wild Night at the Zoo features the best food, music, drink and silent auction of the season. Proceeds of the gala support educational and conservation programs at the Zoo. Don’t miss a photo with our Asian elephants, Emily & Ruth!”
Tickets are $100/person, and are available now on pre-sale; tickets will cost $125/person at the door. Tickets are available for purchase HERE. Proceeds of the gala directly benefit the educational and conservation mission of the Buttonwood Park Zoological Society – which is directly responsible for the care of the animals at the zoo.
