Zoo Rendezvous

2008 American Express Zoo Rendezvous

September 4, 2008
6:00 – 11:00 p.m.


The Year of the Frog!

The American Express Zoo Rendezvous is our single most important fund raising event of the year and has been dubbed the “Wildest Party in Town” by City Weekly.

Make your 2008 reservations here.

Previous Rendezvous guests say, “It’s the one party of the year NOT to miss,” “we plan our schedule around the Rendezvous,” and “It’s the most fun I’ve ever had at a fund raiser!”

Thanks to the generous donations of supporters like you, all proceeds from Zoo Rendezvous are dedicated to animal care and capital improvements. By supporting our fundraising event, purchasing a syndicate ticket (attendance not required) or making a silent auction selection, you can help us provide you, your children and your children’s children an invaluable resource and unforgettable experiences.

The Zoo cares for nearly 900 animals representing 212 species. Twenty-eight of these species are considered threatened or endangered.

Why frogs?

This year, the Zoo is participating in a global effort to save vanishing amphibian species, the Year of the Frog, and this will make for a fun theme for the 2008 American Express Zoo Rendezvous.

Habitat loss, climate change, pollution and disease are causing amphibians to become extinct at an alarming rate. Frogs are the planet’s proverbial “canary in a coal mine.” Utah’s Hogle Zoo has been called upon to support the Association of Zoos and Aquariums (AZA)’s global action plan for amphibian conservation.

$150 per person or sponsorships starting at just $350

No guests under 21, please
All proceeds go to animal care and exhibit improvement at Utah’s Hogle Zoo.
For more information, please call (801) 584-1708.
