Remember the Future Launch Party
The Zoo’s having a party, and you’re invited!
Join us as we launch “Remember the Future: The Campaign for Philadelphia Zoo,” an $85 million comprehensive fundraising effort that will support every facet of the Zoo and its aspirational conservation goals. To catapult this public phase of the campaign, the Zoo is looking to raise $75,000 during this two-day fundraising event on Friday, May 8 and Saturday, May 9.
The Zoo will be hosting additional special experiences for guests to learn about the Zoo’s multifaceted animal care, conservation and educational programs and how their donations can make a difference. For 48 hours, the Zoo will be accepting gifts online, onsite and through texts, with special incentives for donors at all gift levels. Those who donate at the Zoo can show their gift receipt to receive an attraction ticket, discount coupons, Zoo Key and other giveaways.
To thank those who make gifts during this 48-hour campaign launch event, the Zoo will be offering the following incentives:
Every gift – regardless of the amount – is an entry to win a unique piece of art created by one of the Zoo’s animals!
