• LINCOLN PARK ZOO
This year, the Lincoln Park Zoo fetes 150 years of promoting wildlife conservation and education as Chicago’s beloved free zoo. In celebration of the big anniversary, the Women’s Board hosted the annual Zoo Ball on July 13. Over 800 guests attended this year’s gala, aka Zoobilee, which raised $1.2 million for the Chicago institution. Guests enjoyed music from the award-winning Ken Arlen Evolution Orchestra.
