It was a perfect second Friday night in July—beautiful weather for entertaining 700 guests while honoring the Chilean flamingo and raising nearly $1 million.
These were all achievements of members of The Women’s Board of the Lincoln Park Zoo during an evening of pink and feathers. The impressive money raised will help continue “providing a zoo experience that is free and accessible to all 365 days a year.”
The evening’s leaders were Women’s Board President Mary Pearlman and A Feathered Affair Co-chairs Bonnie Kaufman and Ela Lewis.
Enjoying Lincoln Park’s gentle breezes before dinner were Chairman of the Lincoln Park Zoo Board Biff Bowman and Zoo President and CEO Kevin Bell. They were surrounded by others who also relished the zoo’s glorious outdoors during the early part of the evening.
