Blank Park Zoo Hosts Safari Soiree to Support Conservation Efforts

Blank Park Zoo is set to host its annual Safari Soiree, an event that promises an unforgettable evening of Jurassic-themed fun while supporting the zoo's conservation and educational missions. Scheduled for September 4th at 5:30 pm, the event underscores the importance of community involvement in wildlife preservation.

Dr. Sarah Thompson, Zoo Director, highlights the dual purpose of the Safari Soiree: to provide an engaging experience for guests and to fund vital conservation initiatives. The evening will feature food, drinks, and entertainment, alongside a silent auction running from August 28th to September 6th. This auction offers attendees the chance to bid on unique items and experiences, with proceeds directly benefiting the zoo's programs.

Blank Park Zoo's commitment to conservation extends beyond the event. The zoo participates in global efforts such as recycling phones to protect gorilla habitats and advocating for lead-free environments to safeguard bald eagles. These initiatives, along with educational programs, aim to foster a deeper connection between the public and wildlife conservation.

For those interested in contributing to these efforts, more information is available on the Safari Soiree event page. The Safari Soiree represents a critical opportunity for the community to engage with and support the zoo's mission, ensuring the preservation of wildlife for future generations.
