Zoo-ologie 2013 : Sumus Animalia : Lincoln Park Zoo

Inspired by one of the most powerful empires in the world, the Auxiliary Board of Lincoln Park Zoo invites Chicago's party animals to attend its signature fundraiser,
Zoo-ologie 2013: Sumus Animalia.

On Saturday evening, May 18, 2013, the grounds of Lincoln Park Zoo will be transformed into a Chicago rendition of ancient Rome. A lavish archway of greenery and beautiful white flowers will lead you through the luxurious tent stretching across the Main Mall. Gourmet food stations are scattered amongst the tree circles, where guests savor some of Chicago's tastiest offerings.

A Chicago "must attend" fundraiser, Zoo-ologie captures the zoo's natural beauty and exotic spirit by hosting 1,000+ guests for an upscale, upbeat evening of food, libations and dancing.

In 2012 the event included gourmet food stations from 13 of Chicago's hottest restaurants, dazzling drinks by brand mixoligists and celebrity chef, Sarah Grueneberg. Heading into its third year, Zoo-ologie continues to increase audience appeal by providing a top-rated and upscale experience in an unparalleled setting. It is always an unforgettable evening while helping raise funds to keep Lincoln Park Zoo open and free to the public 365 days a year.

We are honored to be chairing Zoo-ologie 2013, and hope you can join us!

Chris Cook, Lindsay Humphreys and Jennifer Statler
