In late September, The Women’s Board of Lincoln Park Zoo hosted its annual Zoo Ball raising a roaring $1.5 million. This year’s apropos theme, Roar with the Changes, featured a vibrant black-tie optional event to engage and inspire guests in support of Chicago’s cherished wildlife experience. Guests were among the first to experience the zoo’s newly renovated, state-of-the-art habitat, Pepper Family Wildlife Center, which opened this fall and welcomed a pride of lions and other big cat residents into the heart of Chicago. The event generates funds for Lincoln Park Zoo to support the highest standards of animal care, education, and conservation offered at the Chicago landmark. To date the Women’s Board has contributed more than $30 million dollars to a wide range of projects. lpzoo.org
