Thank you for an unforgettable Zoo Ball

Nearly $1.8 million raised to support the Houston Zoo!

With more than 700 guests in attendance and many supporters bidding from home, together we raised nearly $1.8 million for the Houston Zoo. With every dollar of your Zoo Ball support, you are providing top-tier care for our animals, powering engaging education programs, and funding the wildlife-saving work of the Zoo and our global conservation partners.

Thank you for an unforgettable Zoo Ball!
