The Birmingham Zoo will host its largest fundraising event, ZooGala 2010, Sept. 25 at 6:30 p.m. With a boa constrictor, grey fox, hyacinth macaw and other animals, this event will be the wildest fundraiser in Birmingham all year.
Guests will enjoy cocktails, dinner, live music and animal walkabouts in an African wonderland. All funds raised at ZooGala go toward the zoo’s new signature exhibit, Trails of Africa, which will focus on the care and conservation of elephants.
The black tie affair will be in the zoo’s Junior League of Birmingham-Hugh Kaul Children’s Zoo. Cocktails begin at 6:30 p.m. followed by a seated dinner at 8 p.m.
ZooGala 2010 features entertainment by Lava Lamp, menu by Kathy G and decorations coordinated by Carol Sullivan of Lagniappe Design.
Event chairmen are Capriccia Carney, Sumner Starling and Tricia Holbrook.
For the first time, the Junior Board will host a ZooGala After-Party from 9 p.m. to midnight featuring music by Lava Lamp, desserts, coffee and an open bar.
