Zoo Ball 2011
Sponsored by American Airlines
Saturday, June 25, Milwaukee County Zoo
Prices start at $300 per person
It’s a sultry summer night in old Havana. Moonlight cascades onto palm fronds swaying in the breeze. You can almost feel the spray of the ocean as you walk on the malecon. Couples dance swiftly to the energetic music pulsing through the city. You’ll get a taste and feel of island life in the West Indies as you drink, dance and dine your way through this year’s biggest annual fund-raiser for the Zoological Society of Milwaukee (ZSM).
The theme is A Night in Havana, and the chairs of the event are Eido and Michelle Walny of Bayside. Eido has been a member of the ZSM’s Associate Board since 2007. He is an attorney at Gonzalez, Saggio & Harlan. Michelle is an English and speech teacher at Nicolet High School. Now in its 28th year, this black-tie event has raised nearly $7 million for the non-profit ZSM, including $440,000 in 2010.
The dining venues are sponsored by the U.S. Bank Foundation; entertainment is sponsored by Johnson Controls, Inc.; and a late-night venue is sponsored by MillerCoors. The event’s multi-pronged auction will feature prizes such as spa specials, sports tickets and transportation on American Airlines.
