benefitting the dallas zoo
For the first time ever, the Dallas Zoo’s annual Zoo To Do fundraiser is relocating – to the internet!
Wild Night In will feature familiar faces from the Dallas Zoo (both human and animal), giving virtual “guests” a closer look at the work that went on and the fun that was still had despite the challenges the Zoo faced as an organization in 2020.
RSVP
Use the link below to get on our list – soon we will send instructions for how to log on to view the event!
GO ALL OUT
FOR WILD NIGHT IN
Everyone who RSVPs will receive a digital event guide to help you make the most of your night. From social media stickers and recipes for sips and snacks, to a “party animal” playlist for your evening – it’s a must-have to make this event a Wild Night In!
auction
The Auction is live! Get in on the action before the “mane” event by bidding on items in our online auction, open now through February 1. Don’t miss your chance to snag these wild items!
Support
While this virtual event is free and open to the public (we’re also counting on you to help spread the news), your gift will help ensure we remain open and accessible to our friends and neighbors during this difficult time. In spite of the pandemic, we have continued to provide outstanding care to 2,000+ animals in our care and the humans who care for them. We need your help to continue this important work.
