The Auxiliary Board of Lincoln Park Zoo supports the zoo through event-based fundraising activities. Established in 1985, the Auxiliary Board is comprised of 100 young professionals who are proud to be part of one of the longest-running junior boards in Chicago.
The Board’s fundraising events extend throughout the year. On May 21, 2011, the Auxiliary Board welcomes you to the first-annual Zoo-ologie - a hip cocktail party held in Chicago's most exotic locale - where guests can take a spin on the carousel before hitting the dance floor.
They also organize Lincoln Park Zoo’s Spooky Zoo, a Halloween event designed to give 25,000 Chicago kids a free, safe alternative for trick-or-treating. Spooky Zoo remains one of the largest community service activities in Chicago, welcoming over 400 volunteers who make the day a reality.
