By attending A Wild Affair, you’re not just enjoying an exceptional evening – you’re supporting the Friends of Lee Richardson Zoo and zoo improvements. Every dollar raised will support our newest fundraiser campaign: Feathers Forever. This newest habitat will allow guests to continue viewing certain birds during colder months. In 2022, AWA raised over $30,000 for zoo improvements. 

The night will feature live music, brought you by Brady Nichols (@bradynicholsmusic on Instagram), Cottonwood, and DJ Magnum Sound (@magnumsounddj on Instagram).​​

We are deeply grateful to the generous businesses, individuals, and food vendors whose donations, sponsorships, and support make A Wild Affair possible—thank you for helping us create a truly unforgettable evening!​​
