ZOO BALL

More than 800 philanthropists, wildlife enthusiasts, and animal advocates gathered at Lincoln Park Zoo for Zoo Ball. Hosted by the Women’s Board of Lincoln Park Zoo, the “Reaching New Heights” themed evening raised almost $1.6 million to help keep Lincoln Park Zoo free and support expert animal care, community engagement initiatives, and lifesaving conservation efforts locally and globally. After dining al fresco alongside the zoo’s growing lion pride, guests participated in a paddle raise led by Alyssa Quinlan, CEO of Hindman Auctions, before putting on their dancing shoes to the music of The Don Cagen Orchestra. lpzoo.org
