Dust off those platform shoes and retro 70s clothes and join the Women’s Board of the Chicago Zoological Society at its 18th annual Wines in the Wild fundraiser on Saturday, September 21. The evening, themed Staying Alive!, will be held in Brookfield Zoo’s Discovery Center from 7:30 to 10p.m. Guests will sample more than 100 wines and champagnes from around the world amidst suspended shimmering disco balls and nightclub music. Accompanying the wines, provided by the event’s purveyor Prestige Countryside Liquors, will be delicious hors d’oeuvres prepared by the zoo’s talented culinary staff. Ten percent of all proceeds from wine purchases during the evening will be donated back to Brookfield Zoo. An individual DJ ticket is $120, which includes the tasting, zoo admission, parking, and a commemorative wine glass. Proceeds from the evening fundraiser will benefit the Chicago Zoological Society’s animal programs, science education programs for children and teachers, community outreach events, annual scholarships, and local and international conservation programs. To register for Staying Alive! Wines in the Wild or for further information, visit CZS.org/Wines or call (708) 688-8393.
