FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 25TH
A ROARING GREAT TIME!
Zoofari is the Cincinnati Zoo & Botanical Garden’s premier party with a purpose. This
sensational evening is complete with delightful libations, dinner-by-the-bite from
over 70 remarkable restaurants, wild animal encounters, high-energy entertainment
and dancing under the stars. It’s a beloved favorite of the region and the most fun
you’ve ever had at a fundraiser!
Annually, Zoofari attracts more than 2,600 guests and raises integral support for the
Zoo’s initiatives, including the care and sustenance of 500 animal and 3,000 plant
species, ground-breaking conservation efforts and educational programs that reach
more than 350,000 students annually.
Sponsorship of Zoofari provides the opportunity to reach a well-educated and
affluent audience in a way traditional advertising cannot—by incorporating your
brand and message into their lifestyle. Your Zoofari partnership creates heightened
corporate image and brand awareness, while demonstrating social responsibility
and community involvement—a seamless package designed to directly influence
consumer behavior.
2020 Chairs:
Michelle & Peter Barrett,
Foundation Board Trustee
A LOOK BACK AT ZOOFARI 2019 A sellout crowd of more than 2,600 guests celebrated with the Cincinnati Zoo at Zoofari 2019: A Masquerade Ball. The evening of fun and fundraising featured more than 70 of the finest restaurants in the city, 30 up-close animal encounters, live music and dancing. Zoofari 2019 was a record-breaker, with more than $1 million raised for Zoo initiatives. The event was chaired by the passionate leadership of Lisa and Tim Massa. Zoofari was presented by Western & Southern Financial Group and Fort Washington Investment Advisors Inc. Additionally, over 100 organizations, including Lexus, Great American Insurance Group, Inc., The Kroger Co., National Band & Tag, and the Rendigs Foundation demonstrated a shared dedication to our mission and truly answered the call as a champion of wildlife, environmental education, research, and sustainability.
