Founded in 1868, Lincoln Park Zoo is dedicated to connecting people with nature through a free, family-oriented wildlife experience in the heart of Chicago and by advancing the highest quality of animal care, education, science, and conservation. This is a charge Lincoln Park Zoo is ready to lead. We’re at the forefront of studying how people and nature clash and coexist, and teaching visitors of

all backgrounds how nature must be integrated in our lives for healthy, happy futures for people and animals alike. Our vision: Inspire communities to create environments where wildlife will thrive in our urbanizing world. Welcome to Lincoln Park Zoo. We are committed to creating an environment that is inclusive and welcoming. We celebrate the diverse backgrounds, perspectives, values, and experiences of all people. Creating a safe, welcoming space for all is a responsibility for everyone. We expect guests, staff, and volunteers to treat one another—as well as zoo animals and grounds—with respect and care. By visiting the zoo, you agree to adhere to our code of conduct and visitor guidelines, which help protect both people and animals. https://www.lpzoo.org/guest-guidelines-and-code-of-conduct/

We’d like to say a big thank you to the philanthropists, wildlife enthusiasts, and animal advocates who came together for Zoo Ball: Andean Nights, hosted by the Women’s Board, this past month. Funds raised through events like Zoo Ball help support world-class animal care, global conservation initiatives, and Lincoln Park Zoo’s commitment to remaining free 365 days a year. Thanks to your generous support, we raised nearly $1.8 million.

A special thank you to our Host Committee for helping make this event possible: Emily and John Alexander, Tracy and Ed Benford, Fran and John Edwardson, Andrea and David Helms, Houlihan Lokey, Northern Trust, TAWANI Foundation, and Mayari Pritzker.

We look forward to next year’s celebration as we mark the 50th anniversary of Zoo Ball!
