A Night of Wild Luxury - Friday, September 20
As Cincinnati’s “must not miss” event of the fall season, Zoofari will welcome 2,500 of our region’s leaders to the Cincinnati Zoo & Botanical Garden on Friday, September 20.
Your night of wild luxury begins with lively cocktail reception, up close animal encounters and authentic African entertainment. As the expedition continues, you’ll tame your hunger with scrumptious bites from over 50 of the area’s top restaurants, sip on signature cocktails, revel in an extraordinary silent auction and “GiRaffle,” enjoy live entertainment and dancing under the stars. Zoofari offers a prime opportunity to entertain colleagues, clients and friends while supporting one of the city’s most dynamic nonprofits.
Your participation in Zoofari continues after the evening by providing for Zoo’s initiatives which include the care and sustainability of over 500 animal and 3,000 plant species, ground-breaking conservation and reproduction work and educational outreach which reaches more than 330,000 students annually. Importantly, Zoofari 2013 will help raise support for Africa, the largest animal exhibit in the Cincinnati Zoo’s history. While most can only dream of visiting a place so contrary to their every day—a place of people, animals and land beyond the most active of imaginations, the Cincinnati Zoo’s commitment to bring pieces of Africa to all will surpass expectations. Don’t miss your opportunity to experience Africa on Friday, September 20 by joining us for Zoofari, Cincinnati’s wildest party with a purpose.
